What’s Wrong with Homosexuality?

The values upon which our country was founded are not subjective. They are objective: freedom of religion, family, liberty, independence. Today we want them to be subjective - whatever we want them to be - irrespective of right or wrong. We say, wrongly, that there are no moral absolutes. That is a value in and of itself, I think.

Heterosexuality has been the standard for thousands of years. Homosexuality has been a crime at least on the books (like immigration enforcement LOL) for years. The "enlightened" USSC declared the Texas sodomy law unconstitutional, which was as terrible a mistake as declaring the pre-born baby a disposable product with no rights and no recognition of his or her humanity. Both were tragic mistakes.

Clearly from law, common sense, a Judeo-Christian biblical perspective and from nearly every other major religion - homosexuality is bad, heterosexuality is good. Moral relativism does not fly in my book. There definitely are moral absolutes no matter how loudly the protestations to the contrary.

Some say we must be tolerant of others. Some say that only thinking something is good or makes it so. This is wrong. There are moral absolutes. Murder is wrong. Theft is wrong. Adultery is wrong. Prostitution is wrong. Helping the poor to get on their feet is right. Voting is right. Abstinence before marriage is right. Treating the elderly with honor and respect is right. Opening the door for a woman or a disabled person is right. Helping an elderly woman or a blind person to cross the street is right. Cheating on your income tax is wrong. Paying a fair wage is right. Driving your car while intoxicated is wrong . . .

The left leaves a legacy where too many people today think that evil is good and that good is evil. It is essentially because we reject morality. This is why we are in the fix we are in right now as a nation. We are in a moral black hole. We need to return to the tried and true American values - honest work, personal responsibility, traditional one-man, one-woman marriages and family units, helping our neighbor, respect for life, etc.
