Gay Marriage Not Inevitable

If you think gay marriage is inevitable, think again.

Just last month, Maine citizens voted for and upheld marriage between a man and a woman. Last week, the New York Senate voted 38 to 24 against a gay marriage bill. The other day, the New Jersey Senate canceled a vote on gay marriage because they lacked the votes.

Additionally, here are four other compelling points from Maggie Gallagher's eight reasons why gay marriage is not inevitable:

1. Young people are not as unanimous as most people think. In California, the young-adults vote split 55 percent to 45 percent. Is it so hard to imagine 5 percent of those young people changing their minds as they move through the life cycle?
2. Newsflash: 18-year-olds can be wrong. Should we really say "Hmm, whatever the 18-year-olds think, that must be inevitable," and go do that? I mean, would we reason like that on any other issue?
3. Demography could be destiny. If there is one force that directly contradicts the inevitability argument, it is that traditionalists have more children.  
4. Progressives are often wrong about the future. Progressives told me abortion would be a dead issue by today, because young people in 1975 were so pro-choice. They told me there would be no more homemakers at all by the year 2000, because of the attitudes and values of young women in 1975.

Peek Into the Future: Religion Is Gone

Threats to push religion out of the public square continue to increase.

These threats are real. This video vividly shows you how the threats are already destroying Christianity in Britain. And, the United States is not far behind Britain.

Gay Marriage: Finally the People of Maine Are Heard

Question 1: Is marriage only between a man and woman? Or, can marriage be between two people of the same gender?

How would you vote?

Tonight, the voice of Maine echoed the voice of States around the country: "Marriage is only between a man and woman." In a 53% to 47% win, Mainers defended the institution of marriage.

We see yet again that the will of the people across the United States is to preserve marriage. Every time citizens of a State have voted on marriage, they have voted in favor of marriage between a man and woman. Even in an election like this--in a blue State and being outspent by the pro-homosexuals--the people stand for traditional marriage. Only in the courts or legislatures has gay marriage passed.

Earlier this year the Maine legislature passed, and the governor signed, a same-sex marriage bill. However, through the referendum process, Mainers got enough signatures and put the the issue up for a vote by the people. Tonight Mainers vetoed the legislature. And like other States, they preserved the God-ordained institution of marriage.

76% of Adults Agree: Viewing Porn Is Morally Unacceptable

A survey released today shows that most people believe viewing porn is not morally acceptable.

According to a survey commissioned by Morality in Media and conducted by Harris Interactive:

• 76% of U.S. adults disagree that “viewing hardcore adult pornography on the Internet is morally acceptable.”
• 74% of U.S. adults disagree that “viewing hardcore adult pornography on the Internet provides, generally, harmless entertainment”
• Only 15% agree that such viewing is “morally acceptable.”
• Only 18% agree that such viewing “provides generally, harmless entertainment.”

Combining the results of both questions, about two thirds (67%) disagree that viewing hardcore pornography on the Internet is morally acceptable and that such viewing provides, generally, harmless entertainment. Only 10% agree with both statements.

Methodology: This study was conducted by telephone within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of Morality in Media between October 21 and October 25, 2009 among 1,005 U.S. adults (aged 18 and older). For full results, please contact Robert Peters.
