Some excellent points in this<\/a>.\u00a0 The biggest question: why do Gay Rights activists want gay marriage so badly?\u00a0 We can see that countries in Europe that allow gay marriage do not suddenly live in peace and harmony.\u00a0 In some cases, there are still calls for those who resist accepting homosexual normality to be punished.\u00a0 Meanwhile, emotional and psychological problems, including suicide, continue to dog the gay community in these tolerant societies, often out of proportion to the overall population.\u00a0 So gay marriage does not seem to equal happiness and societal tolerance and coexistence.\u00a0 At least not yet.<\/p>\n

So why?\u00a0 Why do they want this?\u00a0 Carson Holloway suggests it is because they want equality of recognition.\u00a0 That goes with my hunch.\u00a0 Why do homosexuals in pro-homosexual countries continue to struggle?\u00a0 Why do many call for censorship of religious views even though they legally\u00a0have what they wanted?\u00a0 I\u2019ve always guessed that it is because deep, deep down, they believe, possibly even fear, that their lifestyle is not so natural after all.\u00a0 That the appeals to the animal kingdom, moral relativity, and anti-religious bigotry needed to endorse the life are shallow at best, and do not ultimately change that nagging feeling that there is something wrong in what they are doing.\u00a0 Instead, then, of changing and resisting the innate urge to live outside of natural human interaction, they try to force even more public acceptance.\u00a0 Hopefully, if every\u00a0crevice and cranny in the world is accepting homosexual normality, then that nagging doubt will finally go away.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

In other words, if we dispatch the pesky boy who insists I\u2019m\u00a0naked, and make it a law that everyone else must say I\u2019m not naked but indeed have a wonderful new outfit, then I won\u2019t worry anymore about the possibility that I\u2019m really naked after all.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s true, but it\u2019s a hunch I have.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
