Woke up today to the front page of my local newspaper trumpeting the splendid beginnings of gay marriage in the state of Florida.  Dudes marrying dudes. Chicks marrying chicks.  Public officials/clerks in every berg in Florida forced to choose between giving up their jobs or conducting ceremonies for which they are morally opposed and appalled.   Don’t get me wrong, I could not care less what folks do behind closed doors.  I’m not the mediator, and I am nobody’s judge.  Two things are troublesome to me, however.

In November of 2008, along with 62% of Floridians, I voted for the Florida Definition of Marriage Amendment, which added a new section to Article 1 of the Florida Constitution defining marriage as an act between one man and one woman.  29 other states voted likewise in referendum since 1998.   So how in the world have we allowed a few lawyers in black robes to completely and utterly displace the will of the people in our nation ?

Secondly, is it any wonder that our nation struggles as we seek to, in the name of modernity or advancement or progressivity or coolness, displace God’s clearly laid out family structure.  Letting people “do their thing” in the name of tolerance works for some people, but who in their right mind consciously wants to challenge God’s design?   How dare we ?                      WHAT THE HECK !
