In truth, it represents the ceaseless efforts of self-professed intellectuals to popularize deviant sexuality. They are hostile to the actual meaning of deep and wonderful words such as father, son and daughter, and are eager to redefine them after their own fancies.

What utter confusion. Even “male” and “female” are open to redefinition in their minds.

Perhaps there is no clearer illustration of the muddled thinking plaguing liberal secularists than the fact that they simply will not accept something so simple and clear-cut as male and female.

In their view, gender is a choice, and always open for reinterpretation.

Two fathers, various parenting relationships, gender transition, new gender are all camouflages for some grotesque realities. Gussied up to look like it is promoting family, it is nothing short of an aggressive assault on family.

The 10 Commandments speak to the fact by commanding both marital fidelity (“Thou shalt not commit adultery,” “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife”) and parental authority (“Honor thy father and thy mother”).

Today’s society is forcefully pursuing a contrary, anti-Bible agenda that is dismantling families and leading to society’s ruin.

In our own families, we must do all we can to resist the attack. Promote and defend family as originally (and correctly) defined by the being who created it.
