New Jersey Senate Defeats Gay Marriage Bill

The Freedom of Religion and Equality in Marriage Act failed by a vote of 20 to 14. The vote was scheduled to take place last month, but was postponed due to an apparent lack of support, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Five states currently allow same sex marriage, while thirty have rejected similar measures in referendum votes. The state senate in neighboring New York, where many New Jersey residents work, rejected a gay marriage bill 38 to 24 in December.

Once again the author of this blog is compelled to address this issue. Not because the legislation in this report failed as that is viewed a good thing. Media reports and perhaps the legislation as well make use of the terms ‘gay’ and ‘marriage’ or sometimes ’same sex’ marriage. The terminology should be rejected more swiftly than the legislation. For it is merely a special interest ploy to characterize this distortion of marriage as something other than what it is.

It is the pursuit of a legal precedent to allow homosexuals to be married. It’s not ‘gay’ although it can be described as ’same sex’. But it is really homosexual and the special interest and agenda is produced by those who are. Crafting a message to fool the public is their chosen task.

It is often characterized as an equality issue. That is also the special interest and agenda talking. Living in what is often described as a free society does not imply you can do whatever you want. Our behavior and our choices are restrained to the extent that those items viewed as harmful to society are not supported or endorsed.

It is the purpose of the special interest and their agenda to blur those distinctions. The end game is the same for any special interest; personal gain through special treatment under the guise of fairness, equity or similar propaganda. If the scam is successful the argument no longer matters and is discarded or reused for another scam.

Continued rejection of this special interest as harmful to society should be supported and endorsed.
