Falwell is quoted in this article as saying, "Make no mistake. These deviants seek no less than total control and influence in society, politics, our schools and in our exercise of free speech and religious freedom." This struck me as entirely ridiculous, becuase regardless of your religious viewpoints, how can you assume this? If you disagree with gay marriage, okay; just don't take it to extreme levels because the bottom line is is that these people just want the same rights that heterosexuals do- I don't think the motive is to infiltrate society. I agree with this article in its reasoning as to why people are really scared- that the homosexual lifestyle goes against the "normal" sociological trend of man and women getting married and procreating- for whatever reason, I think that people are just scared of what is not normal to them. This goes for nearly every aspect of life; people like regularity and when your faith on top of it says that it is wrong then of course people just on the bandwagon. I am not necessarily an advocate for gay marriage, but I also do not see what the big deal is; I wish people would look outside the box more and realize that most things in life are not worth worrying about and this is one of them. Gay marriage will not be harming straight ones.
