I recently heard a discussion on Gay Marriage and the effects, I have heard much on both sides. I was directed to this document that has been used in the Court of Law to give evidence in several States on the long term effects of Gay Marriage and Civil Unions as a protected status. (There are no Laws making Gay Marriage Legal in any States, they are only Court decisions blocking Laws to define Marriage as One man-one woman, remember that). I am glad to see so many warm and fuzzies about Gay Marriage but I am pragmatic and believe in Truth and facts. Here are facts in an article written by a Massachussetts citizen:

What same-sex “marriage” has done to
Massachusetts
It’s far worse than most people realize
by Brian Camenker
October 20, 2008
Anyone who thinks that same-sex “marriage” is a benign eccentricity which won’t affect the
average person should consider what it has done in Massachusetts. It’s become a hammer to
force the acceptance and normalization of homosexuality on everyone. And this train is moving
fast. What has happened so far is only the beginning.
On November 18, 2003, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court announced its Goodridge
opinion, ruling that it was unconstitutional not to allow same-sex “marriage.” Six months later,
homosexual marriages began to be performed.
The public schools
The homosexual “marriage” onslaught in public schools across the state started soon after the
November 2003, court decision.
• At my own children’s high school there was a school-wide assembly to celebrate
same-sex “marriage” in early December, 2003. It featured an array of speakers,
including teachers at the school who announced that they would be “marrying” their
same-sex partners and starting families either through adoption or artificial insemination.
Literature on same-sex marriage – how it is now a normal part of society – was handed
out to the students.
• Within months it was brought into the middle schools. In September, 2004, an 8thgrade
teacher in Brookline, MA, told National Public Radio that the marriage ruling had
opened up the floodgates for teaching homosexuality. “In my mind, I know that, `OK, this
is legal now.’ If somebody wants to challenge me, I’ll say, `Give me a break. It’s legal
now,’” she told NPR. She added that she now discusses gay sex with her students as
explicitly as she desires. For example, she said she tells the kids that lesbians can have
vaginal intercourse using sex toys.
• By the following year it was in elementary school curricula. Kindergartners were
given picture books telling them that same-sex couples are just another kind of family,
like their own parents. In 2005, when David Parker of Lexington, MA – a parent of a
kindergartner – strongly insisted on being notified when teachers were discussing
homosexuality or transgenderism with his son, the school had him arrested and put in
jail overnight.
• Second graders at the same school were read a book, “King and King”, about two
men who have a romance and marry each other, with a picture of them kissing. When
parents Rob and Robin Wirthlin complained, they were told that the school had no
obligation to notify them or allow them to opt-out their child.
• In 2006 the Parkers and Wirthlins filed a federal Civil Rights lawsuit to force the
schools to notify parents and allow them to opt-out their elementary-school children
when homosexual-related subjects were taught. The federal judges dismissed the case.
The judges ruled that because same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts, the school
actually had a duty to normalize homosexual relationships to children, and that schools

have no obligation to notify parents or let them opt-out their children! Acceptance of
homosexuality had become a matter of good citizenship!
Think about that: Because same-sex marriage is “legal”, a federal judge has
ruled that the schools now have a duty to portray homosexual relationships as
normal to children, despite what parents think or believe!
• In 2006, in the elementary school where my daughter went to Kindergarten, the parents
of a third-grader were forced to take their child out of school because a man
undergoing a sex-change operation and cross-dressing was being brought into
class to teach the children that there are now “different kinds of families.” School
officials told the mother that her complaints to the principal were considered
“inappropriate behavior.”
• Libraries have also radically changed. School libraries across the state, from
elementary school to high school, now have shelves of books to normalize homosexual
behavior and the lifestyle in the minds of kids, some of them quite explicit and even
pornographic. Parents complaints are ignored or met with hostility.
Over the past year, homosexual groups have been using taxpayer money to
distribute a large, slick hardcover book celebrating homosexual marriage titled
“Courting Equality” into every school library in the state.
• It’s become commonplace in Massachusetts schools for teachers to prominently
display photos of their same-sex “spouses” and occasionally bring them to
school functions. Both high schools in my own town now have principals who are
“married” to their same-sex partners, whom they bring to school and introduce to the
students.
• “Gay days” in schools are considered necessary to fight “intolerance” which may
exist against same-sex relationships. Hundreds of high schools and even middle
schools across the state now hold “gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender appreciation
days”. They “celebrate” homosexual marriage and move forward to other behaviors such
as cross-dressing and transsexuality. In my own town, a school committee member
recently announced that combating “homophobia” is now a top priority.
• Once homosexuality is normalized, all boundaries begin to down. The schools are
already moving on to normalizing transgenderism (including cross-dressing and sex
changes). The state-funded Commission on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender
Youth includes leaders who are transsexuals.
Public health
• The Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health is “married”
to another man. In 2007 he told a crowd of kids at a state-sponsored youth event that it’s
“wonderful being gay” and he wants to make sure there’s enough HIV testing available
for all of them.
• Since homosexual marriage became “legal” the rates of HIV / AIDS have gone up
considerably in Massachusetts. This year public funding to deal with HIV/AIDS has
risen by $500,000. As the homosexual lobby group MassEquality wrote to their
supporters after successfully persuading the Legislature to spend that money: “With the
rate of HIV infections rising dramatically in Massachusetts, it’s clear the fight against
AIDS is far from over.”
• Citing “the right to marry” as one of the “important challenges” in a place where “it’s a
great time to be gay”, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health helped
produce The Little Black Book, Queer in the 21st Century, a hideous work of
obscene pornography which was given to kids at Brookline High School on April 30,

2005. Among other things, it gives “tips” to boys on how to perform oral sex on other
males, masturbate other males, and how to “safely” have someone urinate on you for
sexual pleasure. It also included a directory of bars in Boston where young men meet for
anonymous sex.
Domestic violence
• Given the extreme dysfunctional nature of homosexual relationships, the Massachusetts
Legislature has felt the need to spend more money every year to deal with
skyrocketing homosexual domestic violence. This year $350,000 was budgeted, up
$100,000 from last year.
Business
• All insurance in Massachusetts must now recognize same-sex “married” couples in
their coverage. This includes auto insurance, health insurance, life insurance, etc.
• Businesses must recognize same-sex “married” couples in all their benefits, activities,
etc., regarding both employees and customers.
• The wedding industry is required serve the homosexual community if requested.
Wedding photographers, halls, caterers, etc., must do same-sex marriages or be
arrested for discrimination.
• Businesses are often “tested” for tolerance by homosexual activists. Groups of
homosexual activists often go into restaurants or bars and publicly kiss and fondle each
other to test whether the establishment demonstrates sufficient “equality” — now that
homosexual marriage is “legal”. In fact, more and more overt displays of homosexual
affection are seen in public places across the state to reinforce “marriage equality”.
Legal profession
• The Massachusetts Bar Exam now tests lawyers on their knowledge of same-sex
“marriage” issues. In 2007, a Boston man, Stephen Dunne, failed the Massachusetts
bar exam because he refused to answer the questions in it about homosexual marriage.
• Issues regarding homosexual “families” are now firmly entrenched in the Massachusetts
legal system. In many firms, lawyers in Massachusetts practicing family law must now
attend seminars on homosexual “marriage”. There are also now several homosexual
judges overseeing the Massachusetts family courts.
Adoption of children to homosexual “married” couples
• Homosexual “married” couples can now demand to be able to adopt children the
same as normal couples. Catholic Charities decided to abandon handling adoptions
rather submit to regulations requiring them to allow homosexuals to adopt the children
in their care.
• In 2006 the Massachusetts Department of Social Services (DSS) honored two men
“married” to each other as their “Parents of the Year”. The men already adopted a
baby through DSS (against the wishes of the baby’s birth parents). According to news
reports, the day after that adoption was final DSS approached the men about adopting a
second child. Homosexuals now appear to be put in line for adopting children ahead of
heterosexual parents by state agencies in Massachusetts.

Government mandates
• In 2004, Governor Mitt Romney ordered Justices of the Peace to perform
homosexual marriages when requested or be fired. At least one Justice of the Peace
decided to resign.
• Also Marriage licenses in Massachusetts now have “Party A and Party B” instead
of “husband and wife.” Imagine having a marriage license like that.
• Since homosexual relationships are now officially “normal”, the Legislature now gives
enormous tax money to homosexual activist groups. In particular, the
Massachusetts Commission on Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth is made
up of the most radical and militant homosexual groups which target children in the
schools. This year they are getting $700,000 of taxpayer money to go into the public
schools.
• In 2008 Massachusetts changed the state Medicare laws to include homosexual
“married” couples in the coverage.
The public square
• Since gay “marriage”, annual gay pride parades have become more prominent. There
are more politicians and corporations participating, and even police organizations take
part. And the envelope gets pushed further and further. There is now a profane
“Dyke March” through downtown Boston, and recently a “transgender” parade in
Northampton that included bare-chested women who have had their breasts surgically
removed so they could “become” men. Governor Patrick even marched with his “out
lesbian” 17-year old daughter in the 2008 Boston Pride event, right behind a “leather”
group brandishing a black & blue flag, whips and chains!
The media
• Boston media, particularly the Boston Globe newspaper, regularly does feature stories
and news stories portraying homosexual “married” couples where regular married
couples would normally be used. It’s “equal”, they insist, so there must be no
difference in the coverage. Also, the newspaper advice columns now deal with
homosexual “marriage” issues, and how to properly accept it.
• A growing number of news reporters and TV anchors are openly “married”
homosexuals who march in the “gay pride” parades.
In conclusion
Homosexual “marriage” hangs over society like a hammer with the force of law. And it’s only just
begun. Unfortunately, like elsewhere else in America, the imposition of same-sex marriage on
the people of Massachusetts was a combination of radical, arrogant judges and pitifully
cowardly politicians.
It’s pretty clear that the homosexual movement’s obsession with marriage is not because large
numbers of them actually want to marry each other. In fact, a very low percentage of
homosexuals actually “marry”. (In fact, over the last three months, the Sunday Boston Globe’s
marriage section hasn’t had any photos of homosexual marriages. In the beginning it was full of
them.) Research shows that homosexual relationships are fundamentally dysfunctional on
many levels, and “marriage” as we know it isn’t something they can achieve, or even desire.
This is about putting the legal stamp of approval on homosexuality and imposing it with force
throughout the various social and political institutions of a society that would never accept it
otherwise. To the rest of America: You’ve been forewarned.
PS.
Doing the right thing is doing the right thing, all should be equal, none should be held above another. That is the only way to unity.













There are many lines in there that made me laugh out loud, that’s how biased this pile of dog excrement is.
How can you not see that this drivel is terrible propaganda utilizing nothing but fear?
Is that all you people know?
Do I have to come tuck you in at night and tell you everything is going to be fine? Go back to bed America. Here: here’s American Gladiators. “Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on the living in the land of freedom.”
If you honestly believe that these are the facts, or The Truth, you are a moron of the highest caliber. Take this line:
“Research shows that homosexual relationships are fundamentally dysfunctional on
many levels, and “marriage” as we know it isn’t something they can achieve, or even desire.”
Thankfully we have all of those heterosexual relationships to guide us in the right direction, right? I think I just heard about another father who shot each of his children in the head, then shot himself to get back at that damn wife for possibly…POSSIBLY cheating on him. That’s the kind of moral clarity I want to bring to my children. (This is on the news by the way, where all of these children can see it! Oh My!)
How about the divorce rate? Surely that’s under 75%! Now THAT’S something to bank on! Screw those children who have to see their families ripped apart because their mother and father detest each other, they’re just victims of circumstance, let’s keep force feeding them the idea that they have to grow up and get MARRIED (to a woman) to be happy. (divorce rate is around 50%, by the way.)
Now, CHRISTIAN households! That’s where the moral fiber is, right? “A family that prays together stays together!” Wrong. In a sample study done by the Barna Research Group, divorce rates were SIGNIFICANTLY higher than other faith groups, even among those blasted atheists and agnostics.
So while they’re teaching their children to hate and fear homosexuals and their possible partners, there’s a good chunk of them teaching these children to hate their spouse and that it is perfectly alright to bring a child into a loveless endeavor.
Teaching tolerance at an early age isn’t something to be feared. If you want to keep your children in a bubble, protected from the outside world that is evolving around your uncultured lifestyle, be my guest.
Maybe someday George Costanza will come play Trivial Pursuit with them.
“I’m sorry… The MOOPS. It’s the Moops.”
Your view of and apparent hatred for marriage is hardly making case why we should expand such an institution to another group.
Where are your facts it all good?
You don’t like the line that showed the results of studies relating to the inceased domestic viloence in the homesexual community? What about the other lines?
No personal attcks please, I feel your liberal aggression towards any moral order but please, I’m a moron? I love you anyway Botics
STOP THE HATE! Vote Conservative.
My hatred for marriage comes from being married. I’m sick of my sacred institution being sullied by these Christians who kill their partners or worse, get divorced! I want everyone to be able to get married so that they may too have the right to protest their right to have the sanctity of their institution degraded when we allow robots to be programmed to love and marry non-robots.
Seriously though, if you bought into any of those skewed statistics or believe them to be fact, you’re a moron. Non-biased articles don’t use exclamation points.
Just for good measure, I’ll pick out one bulletin point that I found ridiculous. I don’t have time to go through them all, I picked this one because it is glaringly ineffective if you’re not a giant douche:
“Since homosexual relationships are now officially “normal”, the Legislature now gives enormous tax money to homosexual activist groups. In particular, the Massachusetts Commission on Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth is made up of the most radical and militant homosexual groups which target children in the schools. This year they are getting $700,000 of taxpayer money to go into the public schools.”
Radical and militant. Huh. A group that was founded in 1992 to prevent SUICIDE and merciless beatings of gay and lesbian CHILDREN is somehow an evil thing. They’d been going into schools before it was ever legal to get married, but that didn’t fit the conservative agenda so it wasn’t really worth mentioning.
Hatred of marriage? Because the poster believes all people should have access to the legal benefits of it? Hardly.
If you’d done more than google “anti homosexual propoganda” you’d see that the article you copied and pasted has been refuted several times over.
From http://fanniesroom.blogspot.com/2008/10/propaganda-watch-harm-of-same-sex.html.
“Besides, Mass Resistance’s statement is utterly devoid of any context. What do they even mean by “HIV/AIDS rates”? For instance, it’s simply not clear whether they’re referring to prevalence or incidence of HIV/AIDS, two very different epidemiological measures.
I mean, it is true, actually, that the numbers of those living with HIV/AIDS are increasing nationwide (prevalence). This is because, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites (below), people with HIV/AIDS are living longer due to advances in anti-retroviral therapy. When people with HIV/AIDS live longer, then the numbers of people living with HIV/AIDS are necessarily going to increase. A-der. And, this trend is occurring not just in Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage happens to be legal, but everywhere in the US.
Secondly, the more relevant statistic, the one that would even allow us to begin to start talking about correlation in a same-sex marriage context, would be numbers of new diagnoses in a particular time span (incidence). And, looking at the actual data from the Massachusetts Department of Pubic Health, we can see that while, yes, the numbers of those living with HIV/AIDS has increased over the past 7 years, the numbers of new diagnoses has dramatically decreased.”
Also, David Parker was arrested FOR TRESSPAS, after he refused to leave the school. Not for normal parental concern.
See that? That’s called propoganda, buddy. And its a real travesty to bring it into the debate.
The bottom line is it doesn’t matter if you like the unions or not. Whether you think they’re good for society or not. Its simply not the goverment’s place to discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender. Its illegal, as many courts have–and will continue–to uphold.
It might make you scared, and push up the costs of feather boas, but its what is FAIR.
