The End Of DOMA?
It must be tough living in constant fear of gay marriage. Seriously. Imagine what it’s like to live the life of Maggie Gallagher. Or Brian Brown. Or, Peter LaBarbera.
Imagine what it would be like to know that, right around the corner, any moment, marriage equality could become a permanent reality.
So, who thinks their world is about to implode?
This time, Peter LaBarbera.
For most of you that’s all I need to write, but I’ll give you the rest of the story anyway.
LaBarbera thinks that the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which this week passed 8 – 1 a bill that will give equal family benefits to all federal civilian employees, regardless of orientation, means that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is dead.
Yup.
It’s that slippery slope we all secretly know and love… (yeah, right!)
LaBarbera, a professional homosexual hater whose day job is executive director of “Americans for Truth About Homosexuality,” (“truth” being, of course, outright lies and mis-information,) says,
“This appears to be a violation of the spirit and the law of DOMA. DOMA was intended to encourage marriage, the recognition of marriage by the federal government, and this is the repudiation of that,” Labarbera contends. “This is giving marital benefits to both homosexuals and heterosexual ’shack-up’ couples. It’s very bad public policy for the federal government to de-incentivize people getting married…and that’s exactly what this legislation would do.”
LaBarbera call it “DOMA-destroying legislation.”
We could only wish it were that easy.
Maggie and Brian are probably kicking themselves for not latching onto this fund-raising opportunity first.
(Oh, and guess what: We need to thank – as hard as it is right now – Senators Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins for sponsoring the bill. Sorry, but we do.)

Equality of homosexuals to heterosexuals: homosexuals have never been found wanting in any sector of society compared to heterosexuals. they are not less a friend, father, counselor, teacher, engineer, soldier, administrator, doctor, neighbor, brother, etc.
There is separation between church and state in this country. Congress shall make no law honoring any religion, or any religious views.
Homosexuality has been deemed legal in this country compared to heterosexuality and therefore legally must be given equal protection under the law for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. What ever heterosexuals are entitled to, homosexuals must be given the same entitlement.
Believers for 2000 years have attempted to say that the scriptures had declared homosexuality a sin, by adding their own stroke to the law(gen,matt), by making fraudulent transpositions into scripture(1corr,1tim), by assigning meaning to scriptural verses in spite of their words(romans), by assuming all prohibitions of the old testament were of themselves sins and attempting to apply them to the new covenant, to make regulation in the new covenant when in fact the new covenant is without regulation, unlike as is in the old covenant in deut. 28(romans,galatians,1corr).
Jesus said "you will recognize them by their fruit"…..the fruit of the spirit that is in their lives……….the fruit of the spirit of Christ is different than that of powers and principalities.(gal)
The lives of single and married homosexual believers are filled with the fruit of the spirit in the same way as those of single and married heterosexual believers.
