Support Vote YES on PROP 8
Posted By Jacque on November 3, 2008
We as citizens a lot of times don’t take an interest in issues if they “don’t affect us”. I want everyone to know that the PROP 8 decision tomorrow voted on in CA will affect the entire country. It will affect all public school children and families directly and all families indirectly.
SOME PORTIONS OF THIS ARTICLE ARE NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN.
PLEASE DO NOT READ WITHOUT A PARENT’S PERMISSION.
MA is a state that has “legalized same-sex marriages” in their state. The parents in MA have had their parental rights stripped by them and are not in control of what their children learn about homosexual relationships and marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Parker were told by the school administration that :
“Any adult in the public school system in MA is allowed by law to speak to any child of any age in their charge about homosexuality because gay marriage is legal in their state.“
Oh, and there is not OPT-OUT or PARENTAL NOTIFICATION allowed. See what they did to the Father of the Kindergardener who just wanted notification.
The Parkers and another family, the Wirthlins, filed a Federal Civil Rights lawsuit to force them to notify the parents. The federal judges dismissed the case. They ruled that because same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts, the school actually had a duty to normalize homosexual relationships to children. They ruled that schools have no obligation to notify parents or let them opt-out their children! Acceptance of homosexuality had become a matter of good citizenship!
This is NOT an issue about gay rights or marriage rights. This is a battle for the hearts of God’s children, our children.
If you still don’t believe this, why was the battleground immediately removed to the classroom??
Look at this timeline and see what immediately took place after the legislation of same-sex marriage in the public schools in MA:
Here is some of what occurred. Please go to to see the full timeline of all occurrences, including how private businesses are affected by this law at Mass Resistance.
November 2003
The homosexual “marriage” onslaught in public schools across the state started soon after the November 2003, court decision.
December 2003
“At my own children’s high school there was a school-wide assembly to celebrate same-sex “marriage” in early December, 2003.” It featured an array of speakers, including teachers at the school who announced that they would be “marrying” their same-sex partners and starting families either through adoption or artificial insemination. Literature on same-sex marriage – how it is now a normal part of society – was handed out to the students.
Within Months
Within months it was brought into the middle schools. In September, 2004, an 8th-grade teacher in Brookline, MA, told National Public Radio that the marriage ruling had opened up the floodgates for teaching homosexuality. “In my mind, I know that, `OK, this is legal now.’ If somebody wants to challenge me, I’ll say, `Give me a break. It’s legal now,’” she told NPR. She added that she now discusses gay sex with her students as explicitly as she desires. For example, she said she tells the kids that lesbians can have vaginal intercourse using sex toys.
By the following year
It was in elementary school curricula.
Second graders at the same school were read a book, “King and King”, about two men who have a romance and marry each other, with a picture of them kissing.
Re-Education is necessary
A cross-dressing man who was getting a sex change was brought in to RE-EDUCATE the children. When the mother of a third grader complained, school officials told the mother that her complaints to the principal were considered “inappropriate behavior.”
INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR??
I think they are walking backwards and upside down!! Whose behaviour is inappropriate here?? I do not believe in treating people different for their beliefs, nor would I ever encourage anyone to have animosity towards anyone for the choices they make, sinful or not, but this behaviour IS a choice, and as a choice, parentes have the RIGHT to NOT have their children re-educated into accepting behaviour that the PARENTS deem INAPPROPRIATE.
There are plenty of verses in the Bible that condemn homosexual behaviour as well as anyone who practices homosexual behaviour. Anyone in America can obtain a Bible and do a study on that, so I won’t go into that. I will, however address the blatant attack on the minds and hearts of our children, according to the Master Himself, Jesus. He is talking about OUR CHILDREN. He is DIRECTLY talking about the children who BELIEVE IN HIM.
Matthew 18
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mitt Romney
For all of you former Mitt Romney supporters… here is his contribution to this issue:
Governor Mitt Romney was largely responsible for same-sex “marriages” appearing to be legal. The Supreme Judicial Court had issued an opinion and advised the Legislature to act. The Legislature never did act on it. The Court even acknowledged that it had no power to change the law. So, Mitt Romney did it in one fell swoop.
In 2004, Governor Mitt Romney ordered Justices of the Peace to perform homosexual marriages when requested or be fired.
He also directed the Public Health Dept. to print marriage licenses in Massachusetts to read “Party A and Party B” instead of “husband and wife.”
So… here is an interesting question: IS same sex marriage LEGAL in MA??
On November 18, 2003 the court ruled, by issuing the Goodridge opinion, that it was unconstitutional not to allow it. They gave the Legislature six months to “take such action as it may deem appropriate.” Therefore, same-sex “marriage” is still illegal in Massachusetts.Try telling that to the PROPAGANDA MACHINE, the public school system.
“Give me the youth, and Germany will rule the World” – Adolf Hitler
As Hitler himself said, “Let me control the textbooks and I will control the state. The state will take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing. Your child belongs to us already….what are you?”
Here is my answer to Adolf Hitler and the NEA:
I AM THE PARENT, AS DESIGNATED AND ENDOWED BY THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE.
Will this affect homeschool families?
Well, ask yourself: Will your children go to the store or gas station or a restaurant and be around other people? Will your child attend clubs or church functions with “re-educated” children? Will your children spend time with neighbor children or cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents who are either re-educated themselves or spend time with re-educated children? On the ball field, at the theater, in choir?
WILL it affect homeschool families? I guess it will be our choice.
ADDED:EDIT
I found this informative article, which brings out one thing that may not have been brought out in this consideration for those intent on voting no: “A YES vote will not hurt gays. In California, the law provides for marriage-related benefits to be given to civil unions and domestic partnerships. Proposition 8 does not diminish these benefits.”
The article then goes on to include other instances already that are example of what will become the norm if Prop 8 is not passed. One I had already heard about: “On Friday, October 10th, 2008 a first-grade class took a field trip to witness a lesbian wedding in California.” When I heard about this a couple of weeks ago, all I could ask was, “Is it normal practice to take First Graders to ANY type of wedding ceremony as a field trip?? What ever happened to taking them to the ZOO?
Why SUPPORT THE VOTE YES ON PROP 8 ?
I care about the Bible and God’s creation. I know that He set it up with Adam and created Eve from his body. He was intentional in all He did, and He does not make mistakes.
God instituted marriage between one man and one woman, and we humans have no say in the matter any more than a novel has a say in its content or ending.
blessings and VOTE WISELY tomorrow!

This is a very powerful article that you have just written! I pray many people will find your article and website when they search for answers online. I fully support what you said, that this is ultimately a battle for the hearts of our children, God’s children. I am going to pray all night tonight that all the undecided voters will choose “yes” and that all those who will vote no, will get flat tires!! I feel nauseous thinking that this could be our last normal day here in California.

Thank you Charlene. I did not intend to write such a long post, and I actually did not intend to write one at all. Just a PSA would have been what I planned, until I watched the video and really read through the timeline on Mass Resistance. I read it the other day, but not in detail.
It was so compelling that I want Americans to know that this is not just a California thing.
The Adolf Hitler quote is recited often around here, because we know the power of propaganda. We know that re-educating the next generation is the plan. What better way to do it than through the government school system?
You know me, and you know I do not walk in fear of issues like this, but we all do need to know the reality so that we can make a proper assessment and teach and train our children in the LORD.
Both major party candidates say they don’t want to change homeschool laws, but the wind is likely to change, so their agendas could too.
This legislation DIRECTLY affects us all.
Flat tires.
God gave me this verse yesterday in Ephesians 6:
This battle must be fought in the spiritual realm according to the WORD.

Thank you Jacque. You’re right, it is a spiritual battle and our heavenly angels are battling a serious war against those principalities. I believe the prayers of the Christians give them strength. Keep praying.

Hi,
I read your website and viewed the video and I liked it so much that I posted them to my Facebook profile and wrote this note in my profile:
I was reading about the fires in LA but ran into articles about escalating protests in support of gay marriage. I feel compelled to write about this. What troubles me is, how do we defend heterosexual marriage without quoting verses about abominations and sin? To me this is important because those who oppose Prop 8 quickly reject religious arguments as bigotry and see this as an equal rights movement.
Let me try to articulate this complex issue from a pro-marriage view and without using condemning verses from the Bible …
Can the institution of marriage be defined by a constitutional amendment or a proposition or the courts? Can we pass a law and really change what everyone knows in their heart to be the truth about marriage?
I’d say no.
Marriage predates government and politics. For thousands of years, it has been a “sacred” institution across all cultures and peoples. Even for those who did not believe in God, no one questioned what is marriage. It was partly out of respect and out of tradition, but it was also plainly obvious– even to those who disregard tradition or had no religious beliefs. Their physical attributes and sexual organs made it clear what marriage should be … that it is between a man and a woman.
We also have to consider what is the purpose of marriage. Should people marry simply because they love each other? Or because they want the tax benefits and medical benefits offered by government or employers?
To me, the main purpose of marriage is to provide an environment for the raising of children, which allows the propagation of our species and culture. Not every couple want kids when they get married, but that is usually the end result. If it were not, our culture, economy, and society would all be in jeopardy (as now is the case in Europe, Japan, and elsewhere).
Children are wonderful but raising them can be extremely challenging (my wife and I have 4 boys). I have personally found a few things help tremendously (not to mention having a strong faith in God and being humble before him as the temporary steward of his creation):
1. Both parents working together and being committed, providing stability in the home. In this case, the love that holds a marriage together is not based on feelings or sex (although those things help!!).
2. Father and mother are each good at different things, and the differences intrinsic in males and females are complementary (children needs to see masculinity and femininity modeled by the proper parent in appropriate ways and times)
3. When we see our child(ren) and see their resemblence to ourselves, we feel a joy and love that is inexplicably strong.
I think for homosexuals, the above are difficult to achieve in a marriage. #1 may be possible, but I wonder how many gays or lesbians will marry for life as oppose to just wanting to “get married”. #2 is possible if one of the partners is more masculine and the other is more feminine (which is often the case). But to me, this modeling will confuse the child and conflict with other signals the child has internally or externally about his sex role. #3 is the biggest problem, that being the natural procreation of the child from a sperm from the father and an egg from the mother. Will the child born from artificial insemination later question who is his natural father?
I may be wrong, but I believe marriage to the homosexual is a the last barrier to their public acceptance. To be called “married” is to be able to say, “Hey I am just as normal as the straight people, and you cannot call it wrong.” They want it so badly and are fighting for it so strongly, not because they want equal rights (who is denying them the ability to live together, do what they do in the bedroom, or even get tax/medical benefits by getting a civil union?)… but because they want the whole world to accept them morally.
They claim they love each other and can raise children just as well as heterosexuals (perhaps so, because there are so many bad parents today), but those are just excuses and claims, so they can achieve their primary agenda: to be considered normal and moral.
For me, marriage is family. It is the first and primary foundation of the family. Without marriage, there is no stability and commitment. Without marriage, there is no home. Without marriage, there is no loving environment to raise children. Family is the basic unit of our community and of any society. If we continue to allow marriage and family to erode and blurred by the arguments of tolerance and “equal rights”, then we will eventually find our community and our society in chaos and decline.
I am against gay marriages because I have to say stop, enough is enough. What will be next? Is marriage between a person and an animal ok just because they love each other? Is marriage between a person and an online avatar acceptable? Is marriage between 3 people ok? Is a marriage between a grown man and a 10 year old (boy or girl) ok? Is marriage between person and a object/robot ok, simply because the person finds that to be most fitting to their lifestyle? When do we say stop and hold firm to our values which we know to be true? Are there any rules of decency which will not be challenged? Will teenage sex and divorce become so commonplace that we say, “Oh well, that’s perfectly normal.” Will child porn become as acceptable as adult porn has become? Will we say the sex offender should be accepted because he was “born with the problem”? Will marriage become a thing of the past? Will we become so desensitized and tolerant that anything and everything is acceptable?
I’d say this is not the same as inter-racial marriage — equal rights is not the point here. I support equal rights for everyone. But the right to marry is something that can only be given to a man and a woman, that is by design and no one can change that.
Think of how a bolt fits into a nut to make a good bond or solid joint in construction… Can you form a good bond between 2 bolts or 2 nuts? Can you fit 2 male connectors or 2 female connectors together? Of course not, it is not by design. Regardless of how hard you try or argue, they will not make a bond or good connection.
Marriage is in a state of crisis. To those who support heterosexual marriage, we are also guilty for the erosion of marriage whenever we treat it with disdain or take it for granted. My urge is for all of us to value it, guard it, and treasure it. Premarital sex, adultery, and divorce… these ALL hurt the institution of marriage and family, just as much if not more so, as a re-definition of marriage.
Thanks for reading my opinion and for being open.
