The ‘Fatal Flaw’ in the U.S. Supreme Court Gay Marriage Case

Marriage between a man and woman has been codified in America since the 1600s when marriage licences were first issued. The deconstruction of marriage has been a goal of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, and the progressive feminist movement since the early 1900s.

The prime objective is to make government the ideal marriage partner.

For it is only government that can be the true leader of the new family, one where love, monogamy and biology are irrelevant. Marriage is defined by the state in order to create dependency and increase control over the individual. Homosexual marriage has now fallen into that carefully setup government trap, as have those in traditional marriages much earlier. Government now totally controls gay marriages. Traditional and gay marriages are no longer real marriages.

Tia Ghose in her column History of Marriage: 13 surprise facts, writes:

Monogamy became the guiding principle for Western marriages sometime between the sixth and the ninth centuries, [Stephanie] Coontz, [the author of “Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage,”] said.

“There was a protracted battle between the Catholic Church and the old nobility and kings who wanted to say ‘I can take a second wife,'” Coontz said.

The Church eventually prevailed, with monogamy becoming central to the notion of marriage by the ninth century.

Donald DeMarco, Ph.D., a senior fellow of Human Life International and an adjunct professor at Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut, in his column Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ Negates Both Reason and Reality writes:

The fatal flaw in the recent Supreme Court decision lies in its failure to recognize the nature of marriage and its consequent judgment that the very limits which give marriage its meaning are discriminatory restrictions that should be abolished. Thus, five justices believed that, by removing one of the essential factors of marriage to accommodate the wishes of same-sex couples, they would enlarge it. The truth is that by flagrantly disregarding the nature of marriage — particularly the male-female requirement — these justices have embarked on a course to disparage, if not to destroy, marriage.

Marriage is defined in terms of several factors that distinguish it from all other forms of human alliance. It requires the mutual consent of two unmarried people who have no blood ties, are of appropriate ages and are members of the other sex. Traditional marriage is not marriage in its abbreviated or abridged form. It is real marriage.

Dr. DeMarco notes that in the 1972 American “National Gay Rights Platform” (endorsed by Canadian homosexuals), calls for:

1. the abolition of all laws governing “age of sexual consent,” thus enabling adults to have sex with consenting children of any age or either sex;
2. the repeal of all laws against sodomy and adult or child prostitution; and
3. the repeal of all laws that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit.
