The sift from gay pride as a celebration of queerness and call for gay liberation from heteronormativity TO gay rights was vry subtle. The former was theater, the latter civilizational war.
Kelley, I love your article on the introduction to this subject. I am a Christian male of 77 years and I believe God created male and female and that the family unit is the basis of our life on earth. I also believe in the afterlife that there is no marriage and we will all be focus on God in some conscience way.
Having said this I relate to the later part of your article where you explain what is happening to the education of the young people if nothing else it is a force that is deliberately de-christianizing them.
I have had little connection with gay people. In my younger years I remember fending off the advances of other men and avoiding gay clubs.
My wife does have a gay cousin who is “married” to his male partner. We love them both very much and support them in their life choices. But this does not mean we both accept that marriage is for same sex couples.
I am looking forward to your follow up articles on this subject as I do want to understand it more. I have 12 grandchildren of all ages up to 20. We live in Canada and our education system is on the same track as the American system.
I hope in the end you will have some advice on how to best handle this situation where is it not destructive to our children.
Thank you, Paul, for your thoughtful reply. And, yes, I will be sharing how best to handle this situation and how to support them through their intellectual wanderings, which good and healthy if they're pursued critically. As parents, grandparents, or just mentors, the most constructive thing we can do is to hold up a mirror for those who're struggling to understand what's true and what's real, even though their instincts give them everything the need to know. It's mind over matter, in a way. One of things I have always appreciated about my college professor and mentor was his willingness to be a safe place for thinking out loud. He never judged me, cut me off, or ridiculed me for questioning what I now understand to be conflicting worldviews. Every single person is created in the image of God as a tripartite being of body, soul, and spirit. The soul houses the mind and the will. Whether we accept that and pursue a life in alignment with our design or challenge it and go our own way, we're all the same, separated from our Creator through sin and seeking our way home which can only be found in His redemptive grace. Every anti-God ideology explores the alienation/liberation paradox, but none have, or will ever, solve it through human action. When you start with problematic assumptions creating fake problems, you can only find problematic solutions that really aren't solutions at all. May we all give grace and a gentle ear to anyone trying to understand what this whole thing called life is about and our role in the grand design. God Bless You! And, thank you for reading. Stay tuned.
Thank you for sharing your life story! I'll be sharing this with my wife and others. Excellent!
