GAY TRUTH

To answer this question we go back to the  Reformation . One of the great affirmations about Scripture made by the Reformers is what is known as the perspicuity of Scripture , which is another way of talking about the clarity of Scripture . Scripture continually speaks in such a manner that clarifies issues, not obscures them. The reality in a sinful world is that our understanding is often unclear even where Scripture is clear.

Forcing such change without a referendum is deeply undemocratic. Vilifying those who oppose this as bigots or homophobes is unfair and divisive. But the affirmative action elite are not democrats. They can only be defeated by demolishing their fake arguments about discrimination. It is hypocrisy for homosexuals to argue that denying them marriage makes them victims of inequality when they themselves demand inequality when requesting affirmative action, or exclusively homosexual services, as they do. Civil union legislation acknowledges homosexual identity by providing an exclusive cultural institution for homosexual while leaving heterosexuals with their own, making both groups e
