p> HONEYMOON IS OVER br> Re: Mark Tooley's Going Beyond Same-Sex Marriage : /p> p>Thanks to Mark Tooley for pointing out that the real agenda for the gender-bending crowd is the deconstruction of traditional marriage. And what do they plan to replace it with? Their list seems to be ever more expansive; however, noticeably missing are some other "sexual identities" that are not easily embraced by this "diverse group." Where is their compassion for the consensual minor child and adult relationships? Why no love for NAMBLA and other Internet predators? I didn't see any call by this cabal of fruitcakes to seek lowering age of consent laws. Why not? On what basis can they claim to exclude these "non-conventional partnerships"? Did they suddenly have an epiphany and develop a moral conscience? Having rejected the traditional understanding of marriage and morality, how did they acquire the right to arbitrarily pick and choose the parameters for appropriate and "diverse kinds of partnerships, households, kinship relationships and families"? Or is it, as I suspect, they do identify with these proclivities but are too cowardly to acknowledge it for fear that public outrage would be too great? br> -- Rick Arand br> Lee's Summit, Missouri /p>

Thank you, Mark Tooley, for your terrific job of exposing the true nature of the homosexual agenda. You have revealed something that many of us have long suspected: their real goal is not "marriage" for two men or two women; rather, it is the abolishment of the institution altogether.

p>With such a pernicious agenda, one would think that the media would be all over this. But as we saw this past weekend, the MSM is far more interested in doing puff pieces on Hitler's next of kin (i.e., the president of Iran). br> -- Greg Hoadley
