A “Christian” writer divorces her husband of 14 years and falls in love with an androgynous soccer star. Other “Christian” inspirational writers fall like dominoes in the rush to legitimize what I can only call the latest rage!  Not to restrict this to Christian writers, however, the 24-year old granddaughter of my sort-of conservative neighbor across the driveway gets married to her girlfriend who, coincidentally, has the same androgynous first name of Jordan.  Isn’t that cute?  Two attractive girls, no less.

The seeming frequency of such stories only reinforces to me the idea that “born this way” is basically a fraud.  How much more obvious does it need to get to recognize that the culture has legitimized this activity as an option for women who have gone through difficult times with men (a phenomenon no doubt as frequent as its opposite), resulting in a seemingly significant rise in said activity and indirectly offering an answer as to why societies throughout history established taboos on this activity: without it we would have plagued with this long ago.  It’s impossible to imagine that the effect on families will be good, which surely our ancestors recognized.

I don’t want to leave out men, but I think there are significant differences in this area between the sexes.  As Gertrude Stein intimated (in a TTH post from several years ago), men don’t engage in homosexual activity out of love, but more out of a compulsiveness that answers to the darker side of their nature.  [Laura writes: But many men do have feelings of love for other men.] As Stein puts it, as recounted by Hemingway, they are disgusted by the basic act.  They are anything but “gay.”  With women, on the other hand, there are enough fluffy ones out there who can actually love another woman.  Is it missing something?  Well…yes, but compared to men it’s relatively harmless when the incidence of disease, such as AIDS, is taken into account.

As much as I supported the President-elect, he has no great qualms about this aspect of our culture.  All I can hope for is that he will occasionally speak out against some of the more obvious excesses.  And so, here we are in America 2016.  We learn nothing and attempt to destroy those who warn of our follies, such as Pat Buchanan in his 1992 “culture war” speech at the Republican Convention.

“Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.”

Anyone can call themselves a Christian. It’s just a label.

This story was reported in The Washington Post — in a religious column, no less. Anyone can do dumb things, but not everyone can have them celebrated in a major newspaper. That’s the real story. Who gains from encouraging “Christian” women to become lesbians? Why is this pushed so hard?

Melton described her relationship to Wambach:

“Abby is deeply sensitive and kind. The kids call her an M&M because she looks tough on the outside but inside she’s really mushy and sweet. Abby’s brave. Not just with her words but with her entire being. She has never been afraid to be herself, even when the world told her not to be. I learn from her everyday about the woman I want to become. She is committed to her friends and family. She has this sense of country and honor and chivalry that feels beautiful to me.”

I wonder if Abby’s “wife” considers her “sensitive and kind.”

Wambach told the media she was divorcing Sarah Huffman, her wife of three years, in the wake of a DUI arrest that pushed her to confront her addiction to alcohol and drugs.

Melton and Wambach will be fighting like barn cats in a few years. And, that story will not be reported in The Washington Post.  The media never reports the ugly backstory: the fights, the alcohol, the jealousy, the suicides, the despair. That’s because very powerful people like this trend. It is in their political interest.

Well…yes, but compared to men it’s relatively harmless when the incidence of disease, such as AIDS, is taken into account.

Lesbianism is physically less risky, but it is spiritually just as bad.
