Nouveau Divorce
September 29, 2014
FROM Lifesitenews, the story of Janna Darnelle:
In the fall of 2007, my husband of almost ten years told me that he was gay and that he wanted a divorce. In an instant, the world that I had known and loved—the life we had built together—was shattered.
I tried to convince him to stay, to stick it out and fight to save our marriage. But my voice, my desires, my needs—and those of our two young children—no longer mattered to him. We had become disposable, because he had embraced one tiny word that had become his entire identity. Being gay trumped commitment, vows, responsibility, faith, fatherhood, marriage, friendships, and community. All of this was thrown away for the sake of his new identity.
Try as I might to save our marriage, there was no stopping my husband. Our divorce was not settled in mediation or with lawyers. No, it went all the way to trial. My husband wanted primary custody of our children. His entire case can be summed up in one sentence: “I am gay, and I deserve my rights.” It worked: the judge gave him practically everything he wanted. At one point, he even told my husband, “If you had asked for more, I would have given it to you.”
I truly believe that judge was legislating from the bench, disregarding the facts of our particular case and simply using us—using our children— to help influence future cases. In our society, LGBT citizens are seen as marginalized victims who must be protected at all costs, even if it means stripping rights from others.

Horrendous story. I can’t help but point out, however, that women have been doing this to men for decades. Ditch husband #1 for new beau; fleece husband and take his children away from him. I know many committed, faithful, honest men who have had this done to them all because the woman was restless or unhappy or unfulfilled or angry, etc. You don’t need a real reason like abuse, addiction, chronic neglect.
Regardless, always a tragedy.

I read this story at The Public Discourse last week. I tried to imagine what it must be like for the children of the former man who “fathered” them. She wrote: “Their father moved into his new partner’s condo, which is in a complex inhabited by sixteen gay men. One of the men has a 19-year-old male prostitute who comes to service him. Another man, who functions as the father figure of this community, is in his late sixties and has a boyfriend in his twenties. My children are brought to gay parties where they are the only children and where only alcoholic beverages are served. They are taken to transgender baseball games, gay rights fundraisers, and LGBT film festivals.”
She writes: “My children and I have suffered great losses because of my former husband’s decision to identify as a gay man and throw away his life with us.”
That “father” loves himself over everyone else, certainly more than he loves his children.
One of my son’s good high school friends went into the U.S. Army after graduation, circa 2008. They got together while back. My son related the gist of a conversation.
“How’s your mom and dad?
“They divorced. Dad remarried.”
“Oh. Sorry. What’s his new wife like?”
“Ha, ha. Funny.”
“? What? Why, what’s she like?”
“I guess you haven’t heard. He married a guy.”
Homosexuals are liars and frauds. They lie about wanting to “marry” to mainstream in life with normal, healthy families. They ruin families, first their own. They ruin children, particularly their own. Of all the children that they could hurt or avoid hurting, they chose to hurt their own. They choose their abnormal pleasures over an intact family.
My son’s friend now hates his father, so does his brother. The younger sister may have some sympathies, based on what she posts on her twitter page, highlighting Ellen DeGeneres. Their mother was devastated.
This homosexual “father” of three is a senior vice president of a well known major corporation. His company profile page ends with this:
“Jim is the proud father of three grown children, _______, a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army; ____, a Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps; and ____, a senior at DePaul University. Jim and his husband Carl live in downtown Chicago.”
Modern Luxury Brides did a story about their “wedding.”

The Couple Jim, the U.S. chief of______________USA, met Carl, a psychotherapist, through an online dating site. The couple was married legally in California and then joined friends and family a few weeks later for an unforgettable Chicago wedding celebration.
The Details Planner __________oversaw the vision for Jim and Carl’s celebration, which included calla lilies from Anthony Gowder Designs.

This sick bastard just trashed his family, and now he’s putting on the Ritz with his own reflection.
A reader writes:
Perhaps men who are about to be divorced should claim homosexuality in order to reclaim income, possessions, children and perhaps even take some of her stuff? Maybe even get her thrown in jail for oppressing him? It certainly couldn’t hurt, and they can’t prove you are not one anyway.

My neighbor whom I’ll call Cassy, recently confided in me that her husband of twenty years had filed for divorce because he was “gay.” The couple has one son in college. I asked Cassy if she’d ever had any signs in all those years that he might have always been gay. She replied, “Well, only in that he preferred the kind of deviant sex that I never permitted.”
We both sat sipping our coffee and wondering how does one become ‘suddenly gay’…we’re still thinking about that.
Carolyn writes:
What none of these tragic stories talk about is that, of course, the men did not just suddenly “become gay.” They have known all their lives, and probably were trying to make it all go away by getting married….an old remedy that only brings havoc and sadness.
Yes, they are selfish…they could at least be celibate to protect their children…or not so flagrant in their new relations. But in this new world, that is not important.
What else is not important in our culture, is that there is help for “managing” symptoms, but states are actually outlawing such therapy (NARTH, California). So a young confused man who does not want the homosexual lifestyle thinks there is no where else to go.

I don’t think it is possible to say that marriage “only” brings havoc and sadness for a man who desires other men. Lifelong celibacy can entail sadness too.
