Victory for traditional values

I am always happy to hear of a court decision protecting family values:



"TAMPA, Fla. - In what is believed to be the first ruling of its kind, a judge on Wednesday upheld the federal law letting states ban same-sex marriages, dismissing a lawsuit by two women seeking to have their Massachusetts marriage recognized here."



It is important to have legal precedent on the side of the sanctity of marriage. Case law is so important is jurisprudence. We ought to celebrate every victory for family values.



The article says:



The women argued that the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional because it was discriminatory on the basis of sex and violated their fundamental rights.



This is not discrimination on the basis of sex. It is discrimination on the basis of lifestyle. They call it "sexual orientation." We descriminate frequently on the basis of lifestyle. Do we allow convicted sex criminals to work at a daycare? Would we allow a drug addict to be the sheriff? If our court system begins to protect lifestyles, then any deviant lifestyle must be protected. If we are unable to withhold "rights" based on lifestyle, then when need to give NAMBA (North American Man-Boy Love Association, a advocate of pedophila) the same "rights" as anyone else.



The article quotes from Nancy Wilson,a minister for Metropolitan Community Churches, one of the world's largest congregations of gay Christians:



"Despite this ruling, we are still married in our hearts, and legally married in Massachusetts."



Can't it be enough that they are "married in [their] hearts"? What need have they of government sanction, is marriage is something internal? They want more than just legal marriage rights. They want complete acceptance. And they will not stop until they get it.
