Albert Mohler: A Sign of Things to Come?

Monday, November 24, 2008

The passage of Proposition 8 in California has reset the table with respect to the issue of same-sex marriage. Clearly, those pushing for legalized same-sex marriage thought that the decision of the California Supreme Court last May was the final word, and same-sex marriage would be an established legal reality in California. The fact that Proposition 8 passed on November 4 threw that assumption aside, and an ugly new chapter is opening.

The Los Angeles Times provides an eye-opening report into the response of Hollywood's cultural liberals to the passage of Proposition 8. Reporters Rachel Abramowitz and Tina Daunt open their article with this question: "Should there be boycotts, blacklists, firings or de facto shunning of those who supported Proposition 8?"....

...Now, as these developments in California unfold, it is clear that where efforts to legalize same-sex marriage fail, proponents will hunt down opponents of gay marriage for sanction and opposition. Note carefully the fact that Hollywood insiders and gay rights activists are scrutinizing the list of those who contributed to Proposition 8 support, looking for individuals, organizations, and corporations to isolate and punish. At least some are out to get people fired.

The opposition and outrage are also directed at churches and religious organizations. Take a careful look at this development. In all probability, it's the shape of things to come. the rest

I believe that if one contributes $100, your name goes on the list (but not $99). And they are going after the little guys, too. The owner of the restaurant that there was a big protest had only given a $100.

Teachers can direct their dues away from the union. The protect marriage website also had a discussion on how to switch away from Pacific Gas and Electric (and save money, to boot).

Remember when visiting California to stay East of the San Andreas (and on high ground to avoid tsunamis)...
