Bill's Notes

Society has a problem, not us
Golly, after the argument made for same-sex "marriage" removed a key limit on eligibility for marriage, we couldn't see this one coming.

Funny thing is some people will be so hardened by pragmatism and relativism they won't be able to argue against this. After all, if you can't have the "yuck" factor for sodomites, you can't really have it for relatives, either.

BTW, the costs of same-sex marriage and insistence on the normalization of homosexuality have already been high.

Letters-to-the-editor writers, bloggers and blog-commenters sued, hauled before "Human Rights" commissions, fined, and in some cases, enjoined from writing their opinions, in Canada.

A New Mexico photographer forced to pay $6,600 in legal fees to a lesbian couple after she turned down their offer to photograph their "wedding."

The Catholic Church having to get out of the adoption business in Massachusetts.

Justices of the Peace fired in Massachusetts because they disagreed with the state supreme court decision removing the concept of gender from marriage.

Not to mention The Episcopal Church's tossing out orthodox bishops and priests so they justify their sodomite bishop in NH.

And so the cultural battle continues.

The New Mexico photographer could have come up with a good lie. (Or got better lawyers. Better lawyers, I'm thinking)

But there's an easy argument against incestual relationships--that is the increased likleyhood of birth defects and the societal cost of dealing with them. Society doesn't have to pay for people to whelp mongoloids. And can enforce that the way people used to have to get 'blood tests'. (For something, but I forget what)

The Episcopals are a buch of heretics anyway, and deserve what they get.

Canadians also deserve what they get--since they put those stupid things in place.

And anyway, I'm not sure that "Yuck factor" counts as a reason to condemn gays. The Roman Catholic church has had its own little problem pederasts recently, and not just here in America--there was an Austrian seminary closed down with in the last 3 years or so because the place was basically a gay party palace.

Interesting take. My only quibble: The "yuck" factor doesn't condemn gays -- it condemns homosexual behavior.
