Celebration of ruling is not universal

The Commercial Appeal’s front page photo of Nancy Wiers and Laura Harris, exchanging vows after last Friday’s Supreme Court ruling legalizing homosexual marriage, portended to celebrate love triumphant (July 2 article, “Historic ruling”).

What about Ari Harris, the couple’s 5-year-old daughter, who was wedged between them as they kissed?

According to four adult children of homosexual parents who testified against the legalization of homosexual “marriage” last January, in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, life for children of homosexual parents can be precarious.

Dawn Stefanowicz explained that she was exposed to horrendous sexual activities, testifying, “My rights and innocence were violated.”

B.N. Klien described her experience with a lesbian mother where “gay ideology was used as a tool to repression, retribution and abuse.” According to her, “children in gay households often become props to be publicly displayed to prove that gay families are just like heterosexual ones.”

Finally, Katy Faust, who was reared by a lesbian mother and her partner, warns that institutionalizing homosexual marriage “in essence, tell(s) children that they have no right to the natural family structure or their biological parents, but that the children simply exist for the satisfaction of adult desires.”

The Supreme Court’s recent rulings have demonstrated, as Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia opined, a “bit of interpretive jiggery-pokery” that negates the clear meaning of words.

The Bible is clear, precise, infallible and indisputable. Marriage between a man and a woman was ordained by God.
