While we wait until June to find out how the U.S. Supreme Court will
rule in its two "gay marriage" cases, perhaps it will add a little
energy to our prayers to understand that the judges in black will be
making a stark choice: The choice is either "gay marriage" or religious
freedom, but not both.
If the court, in settling Hollingsworth v. Perry, affirms the
desire of the minority to extend the sexual revolution to same-sex
"marriage," then it will be a violation of the Constitution
(specifically the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment) to
claim that homosexual activity and hence homosexual "marriage" are
wrong.
Note that both aspects are mentioned. If the law affirms "gay marriage"
as a guaranteed right, it implicitly demands that all citizens likewise
affirm homosexual activity of any and every kind.
In affirming same-sex "marriage" as a protected right, the Supreme
Court will not just be making law — which is itself a violation of the
separation of powers — it will be remaking morality.
To be more exact, it will be acting as an instrument of the ongoing
(and now, nearly complete) sexual revolution against the Judeo-Christian
understanding of sexuality and marriage.
And, to be even more exact, the court will be establishing secular
liberalism ever more firmly as our state religion, the worldview that
defines what is good and evil, and therefore defines what is legal and
illegal.
Unfortunately, that is nothing new.
