DIANA WRITES:

So Joe Biden says that “same-sex marriage” is inevitable. Well, we shall see about that. Do you remember the Equal Rights Amendment? That too was inevitable, but under the passionate generalship of Phyllis Schlafly, it died.

But let’s think about the consequences if a distracted and beaten-down public is unable to summon enough opposition to homosexual marriage. Did you know that there is something called “a right to reproduce”? And that intellectuals have written articles in law reviews about this? This boils down to homosexuals changing laws to foster surrogacy, and to throw money into more “ART” – assisted reproductive techniques that might enable homosexual couples to bear children who are genetically their own. As everyone knows, what was once designed to help infertile heterosexual couples is now co-opted by those who choose “non-coital reproduction,” that is, homosexuals. Let’s take this a step further. Once we have “same-sex marriage,” what would prevent homosexuals from lobbying that they should be treated no differently from any other infertile couple, and that public monies should be used to research methods of same-sex procreation?

This is crazy, you may protest. My response is, “so is ‘same-sex marriage,” a term so absurd and offensive I enclose it in quotation marks. Once you’ve conferred the sanctity of marriage on ‘same-sex’ couples, there is no logical opposition to researching ARTs that would foster same-sex procreation. The only opposition to the idea that this would not provide further argument against “same-sex marriage” would be that it’s currently impossible. But that’s a feeble response. Most of what we thought was impossible is now quite doable, if expensive. I’m talking about the moral crux, not the feasibility, or the practicability. We can create any number of nuclear weapons. We choose not to.

What of procreation?

In 2008, a self-styled ethicist named John Robertson forthrightly asserted a homosexual “right to reproduce” in the George Washington Law Review.  Here is an article written by actual scientists, which contains the feeble “we can’t do it now” counterpoint regarding the technology – but note, no moral objection. There have been breathless newspaper articles about same-sex procreation. Scientifically they are nil, but they illustrate the fierce hatred of nature that animates the “gay rights movement.” Here is an article that provides an overview of the technology that might allow homosexual couples to have children that are genetically their own.

I don’t personally believe this madness will ever happen. But that’s not my point. My point is that a movement made up of zealous madmen enabled by well-meaning fools can and will do what it wants until they are stopped.
