Another step on the path to the greater agenda
The issue has never been about “equality”, it has always been about normalizing perverse behavior in our society.
“We will celebrate this important victory for five minutes and then we have to move on, because we are the last group of Americans who are discriminated against in federal law and there is a lot of work to do,” Richard Socarides, the head of Equality Matters, a new liberal advocacy group, told the New York Times.
“Where you stand on the issue of marriage has become a kind of political litmus test for gay voters on whether you support full or partial equality… Just saying you are for equal rights will no longer cut it,” Socarides, who once advised former president Bill Clinton, wrote on his website.
He and other activists yearn for the repeal of the “Defense of Marriage Act” which defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
