The Real Agenda For Marriage in America

The Real Agenda behind Oregon's 'Domestic Partnerships' Bill March 5, 2008 As reported in today's Medford Mail Tribune, front page, "State Rep. Sal Esquivel, R-Medford, and a GOP state senator from Stayton have filed a proposed initiative that would repeal Oregon's new domestic partnership law for same-sex couples. Esquivel and Fred Girod filed the petition with the Secretary of State's office Friday. A companion initiative that would roll back civil rights protections for gays and lesbians was submitted Monday. Esquivel said he elected to become a chief petitioner on the domestic partnership initiative to protest the 2007 Legislature's failure to refer the politically charged issue to the voters. "I am protesting the process," Esquivel said." As I and many others have said, so called 'domestic partnerships' in Oregon and elsewhere are but a ruse for the real goal of the activist homosexual community in America, the destruction of marriage altogether. Peter Jensen in today's Oregonian, in an article about an effort to expand rights of gay couples in Washington State, quoted Rep. Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle, as saying, "We've been very clear since we announced our plans last year that our ultimate goal is marriage," said Pedersen, who is gay. "There's some chance -- depending on how things go in November -- that we could have a real conversation next year." Republicans criticized the expansion bill as eroding traditional marriage and tried to put it up for a vote in November. But Democrats, who control the Legislature, rejected the move. "This bill radically increases the number of rights to domestic partners," said Sen. Dan Swecker, R-Rochester. "It would take little to achieve gay marriage aside from a name change. Once we go that far, marriage will become meaningless." Sound familiar? The homosexual community knows that to allow the people to vote on this issue, they would lose. That is why neither the democrats in the Washington legislature and their counterparts in the Oregon legislature and their friends in the Elections Division, want the people to vote on domestic partnerships or special rights, protections and privileges for homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, or those who would use the guise of 'gender confusion'. They know that if the public really found out that 'gender identity' allows sexual predators to prey upon our wives and daughters in public places, the outrage would spill over into the ballot box like a heat seeking missile.
