Some excellent points in this. The biggest question: why do Gay Rights activists want gay marriage so badly? We can see that countries in Europe that allow gay marriage do not suddenly live in peace and harmony. In some cases, there are still calls for those who resist accepting homosexual normality to be punished. Meanwhile, emotional and psychological problems, including suicide, continue to dog the gay community in these tolerant societies, often out of proportion to the overall population. So gay marriage does not seem to equal happiness and societal tolerance and coexistence. At least not yet.

So why? Why do they want this? Carson Holloway suggests it is because they want equality of recognition. That goes with my hunch. Why do homosexuals in pro-homosexual countries continue to struggle? Why do many call for censorship of religious views even though they legally have what they wanted? I’ve always guessed that it is because deep, deep down, they believe, possibly even fear, that their lifestyle is not so natural after all. That the appeals to the animal kingdom, moral relativity, and anti-religious bigotry needed to endorse the life are shallow at best, and do not ultimately change that nagging feeling that there is something wrong in what they are doing. Instead, then, of changing and resisting the innate urge to live outside of natural human interaction, they try to force even more public acceptance. Hopefully, if every crevice and cranny in the world is accepting homosexual normality, then that nagging doubt will finally go away.

In other words, if we dispatch the pesky boy who insists I’m naked, and make it a law that everyone else must say I’m not naked but indeed have a wonderful new outfit, then I won’t worry anymore about the possibility that I’m really naked after all. I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s a hunch I have.
