Let No Gay Marriage Put Asunder
IT SHOULD COME AS ABSOLUTELY no surprise that there would be a great gnashing of teeth and stomping of feet at the Supreme Court’s recent decision to legalize gay marriage in every state in the US, but the lengths some anti-gay marriage groups are willing to go to might drop more than a few jaws. REAL MARRIAGE: One Man/One Woman for Life is just one task force that’s committed to making sure gay marriage is the last step America takes in its death march toward “the new Sodom and Gomorrah.”

THEY’VE GOT OUR RIGHTS IN THEIR SIGHTS
Rather than going directly for the throat, Real Marriage is aiming at politicians and companies that support LGBT rights and the community’s right to marriage. Taking a look at the group’s website, it’s clear they uphold the same Judeo- Christian beliefs and rhetoric as nearly every other anti-LGBT group out there. So what makes Real Marriage different? Mainly their plans to march and protest, much like the LGBT community has done for decades.
The group is also under the belief that the latest legal decision regarding the gay community will force “churches, schools, families, businesses, and individuals to accept, to affirm, and to even celebrate those who participate in anal sex, or anal sodomy.” This seems like a fair concern, considering the fact that LGBT people have always been forced to celebrate heterosexual marriages and that gay people are the only ones who participate in anal sex. One member of the group, a Texas conservative named Dr. Steven Hotze, even feels that kindergarten teachers will eventually start encouraging students to participate in anal sex.
THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
In addition to Dr. Hotze, other current speakers and members of Real Marriage include the president of the Coalition of African-American Pastors Rev. Bill Owens; reparative therapist Dr. Joe Nicolosi; therapist and “ex-homosexual” David H. Pickup; the founder of Conservapedia Andy Schlafly; and radio host Janet Porter.
The six of them have banded together to show their message isn’t one of hate, but one that represents their conviction in “truth and rights.” Rev. Bill Owens has even gone so far as to compare the group’s mission with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, quoting, “We will follow Dr. Martin Luther King’s example. We will not obey any unjust law. An unjust law is no law at all.” Seeing as the members also consider Real Marriage to be a philosophical movement, the group might soon compare itself with Mahatma Gandhi.
IT’S HUMAN NATURE
Just like parents, the members of Real Marriage believe what they’re doing is best for the country and its future generations. And like parents, the organization may not realize the damage it could be causing — damage that might not become apparent until several years have passed. While the group’s effort to protect us from what they perceive as a threat is admirable, protecting us from something they clearly don’t understand isn’t.
Expect to hear about mini-conferences, as well as a world conference from Real Marriage. The real question for Real Marriage is whether they’ll spread their message of reform from sea to shining sea until every country on the planet has turned away from its wicked ways. Why stop with an appetizer when your divine chef has prepared you a full-course meal?
