It’s been a while since we’ve had a serious homophobic tirade from Michael Brown that also insists that he’s not a homophobe, but he delivers in his Nov. 15 WorldNetDaily column:
On Nov. 10, the Supreme Court declined to reconsider the landmark, 2015 Obergefell decision, which radically redefined marriage. This is highly significant, since, even with the current 6-3 conservative majority, not enough justices were found who were willing to reopen the case – at least not now. And yet it was not that long ago in America that talk about same-sex “marriage” sounded as oxymoronic as talk about fast sloths.
That’s because marriage was universally understood to be the union of a male and female, and so, no matter how much two men or two women loved each other, and no matter how committed they were to each other, their union could not be considered marriage.
Put another way, just as 2+2=4 is math, not spelling, it was understood that man + man (or woman + woman) was something other than marriage. What could be more basic than that?
This is not to deny that there are same-sex couples who are deeply committed to each other, nor is it to deny that many of them are committed parents as well. For them, there was a massive sigh of relief when SCOTUS declined to revisit Obergefell this past Monday.
My point, instead, is to help us realize just how far we have declined on a national, moral and cultural level, lest we congratulate ourselves for pushing back against radical transgender activism without realizing just how much ground has been lost.
In other words, while the “T” in LGBTQ+ activism is under fire, the LGB part of the equation is still firmly entrenched. And so, our celebration over victories in the culture wars – and without a doubt, there have been significant victories – should be tempered when we realize how far we have drifted as a nation.
Brown followed this with numerous paragraphs attacking gay people for ” redefining marriage,” because “many (if not most) of whom viewed marriage with disdain, seeing it as a vestige of heterosexual patriarchy.” Still, he closed with a statement pretending he’s not the homophobe he has amply demonstarted himself to be:
This does not mean that we despise gay couples or families. But it does mean that, if we want to see a real, sweeping, national awakening, the revival will have to go deeper. Much deeper!
Of course, a “real, sweeping, national awakening” presumably eradicates any public celebration of homosexuality, including same-sex marriage — and, yes, despising gay couples and families. But Brown won’t tell you that.
