A Matter of Personhood?

This post is a response to a comment made by a reader of this blog to my article, Dems patently endorse same-sex marriage, which I felt needed to be responded to in a post as well.


Sean Fritz wrote . . .

"So, to interpret your message, [homosexual and lesbian] people aren't people? We don't pay taxes and aren't due to equal protection under the law?Awesome.

"I'll let the IRS know."


Sorry, Sean, you did misinterpret my post. Clearly homosexuals, lesbians, etc. are people. Their behavior is what is what is clearly unhealthy, unnatural, abnormal and unnatural. We as individuals and as a nation cannot condone, sanction or approve or encourage such wantonness. It is wrong. If adults choose to carry on such behavior in private, that is their business. But to demand that that behavior, that lifestyle be taught as normal, natural, moral or healthy in a classroom or anywhere else is absolutely wrong.

Because a thief, an adulterer, a murderer pays taxes does not diminish the fact that his or her behavior is wrong. You mix oranges and apples.

Same-sex "couples" should in no way be elevated to a special, privileged class protection above any other individual in society - as they and their advocates clearly demand.

I am not for taking personhood away from homosexuals or lesbians, but I am for restoring personhood to the unborn.
