Same-Gender Marriage Enters the Twilight Zone
Same-Gender Marriage Enters the Twilight Zone
I’ve asked Rod Serling, creator of the 1960’s television series “The Twilight Zone,” to write this column.
Serling: ” Your traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into wondrous lands whose boundaries are that of imagination. There’s a signpost up ahead. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone.”
Serling: “Imagine if you will, you’ve been transported to the future. It is the 50th anniversary commemorating the legalization of same-gender marriage in all 50 states. We look in on a high school history class discussing this significant milestone. The teacher just asked the class to discuss some of the arguments opposing same-gender marriage.”
Student 1: Opposition to same-gender marriage was based on religion that teaches homosexuality was sinful.
Teacher: “That was indeed a powerful argument for some, but it was ultimately proven to be a non-sequitur. Marriage in the eyes of government is not a religious enterprise. No one in America is officially married until that union is filed with state and local government. Churches have always enjoyed the constitutionally protected right to decide the unions they wish to officiate, but they could not claim marriage was a wholly owned subsidiary of the church.”
Student 2: “But biblical marriage is defined as one man and one woman.”
Teacher: “That’s true until one gets to Genesis chapter 4.”
Student 3: “There was also the procreation argument.”
Teacher: “Doesn’t that assume all couples marry to procreate? Countless numbers of heterosexual couples marry for reasons other than procreation. Moreover, the Supreme Court case of Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) put an end to any notions that marriage in the United States was based on procreation.”
Student 4: “Some were concerned about the backlash of reverse discrimination. Some Christian organizations were allegedly forced out of business because they maintained their biblical-based beliefs.”
Teacher: “Because one proclaims to be a Christian organization, it does not grant them immunity to discriminate if they are involved in commerce. This was the basis for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”
Student 5: There was the concern that same-gender unions were redefining marriage.
Teacher: “Perhaps a better way to state that would be same-gender marriage would be redefining an institution that has been redefining itself since its inception. If one assumes love to be part of the 21st century standards for marriage that alone moves one away from biblical understanding. For thousands of years marriage was based more on property and passing along inheritance than love. It was not an institution designed for the socially inconsequential. In fact, marriage for individuals without property or a name to pass on has only been around for several hundred years.”
Student 6: “There was the argument that individual states should decide.
Teacher: That was in my view is the most palatable, pragmatic, and unconstitutional argument put forth. That argument finds its basis in the 10th Amendment that states:
‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people’.
But Section One of the 14th Amendment reads:
‘All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’
The existence of the 14th Amendment weakens the 10th Amendment. States rights do not include violating the equal protection clause. In the case of same-gender marriage, no state could tax gays and lesbians, while denying them services that heterosexual enjoy. Civil marriage, which was the issue, is supported by the tax dollars of all. Moreover, isn’t ‘all’ the first word in the 14th Amendment?”
Student 7: “Why didn’t they just read the 14th Amendment? The issue could have been solved quickly, perhaps decades earlier.
Teacher: That’s a great question for which I have no response.
BREAKING: 11th Circuit Denies Stay in Alabama Marriage Equality Case

Two Male Nurses Caught On Video Humping In Front Of 99-Year-Old Stroke Victim
Two Male Nurses Caught On Video Humping In Front Of 99-Year-Old Stroke Victim
Well, this is rather disturbing.
Two male nurses in San Diego have been charged with inflicting mental suffering on an elder after humping one another multiple times in front of a paralyzed, 99-year-old stroke victim, CBS8 reports.
The incidents occurred back in 2011. According to Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood, 42-year-old Russel Torralba and 43-year-old Alfredo V. Ruiz were caught on surveillance video fondling one another on several occasions in the victim’s room while she lay helpless and unable to move in her bed.
Last year, attorneys for the defendants argued at a preliminary hearing that, while the men’s behavior was certainly “inappropriate,” there was no evidence to suggest the century-old stroke victim was neglected, injured, or even aware of what was taking place just inches away from her.
Judge Lorna Alksne called the men’s behavior “shocking,” but dismissed a count of lewd and lascivious behavior.
Both Torralba and Ruiz are scheduled to be sentenced March 30.

REPORT: 'Gay' Man Thrown From Building By ISIS Survives, Is Stoned To Death By Syrian Villagers
REPORT: 'Gay' Man Thrown From Building By ISIS Survives, Is Stoned To Death By Syrian Villagers
Reports are emerging that a man in Syria thrown from a building by ISIS militants for being gay was stoned to death by villagers when he survived the fall.
A series of images show two masked men throwing the victim – charged with having a “homosexual affair” – from a seven-story building.
After surviving the fall, the man was stoned to death by locals in ISIS stronghold Raqqa.
Photos posted on LiveLeak show the man being checked after the fall and finally being circled by a waiting crowd.
While ISIS has labeled the individual as a homosexual, it is important to bear in mind that this is a charge frequently leveled by the Islamic State against individuals who are perceived as dissidents. A statement released by The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission following a similar reportedly anti-gay attack in Iraq best sums up the caution that should be taken when viewing ISIS’ crimes that put sexual orientation front and center:
IGLHRC and MADRE caution concerned members of the media, representatives of foreign governments and people of conscience generally in the strongest possible terms against assuming that the men identified as ‘gay’ and against assuming the men engaged in homosexual acts. […]
At this time, to publicly call Iraqi men “gay” can only do harm. If the men did not identify as gay, the allegation is inaccurate and obscures the Islamic State’s motivation for publicly labeling them as such. If the men indeed identified as gay, extreme caution should be exercised and consultation held with those they loved as widespread publicity potentially exposes their families, loved ones and intimate partners to harm. Honor killings are pervasive in Iraq, so the safety of those most affected must be a paramount concern.
Furthermore, one cannot assume that the executions were for sodomy solely on the basis of information from the Islamic State. Without evidentiary basis or independent confirmation, this sweeping allegation could be applied to anyone the Islamic State seeks to discredit—including human rights activists and anyone opposed to the Islamic State. Accusing opponents of homosexuality is a tried and true tool used to discredit political adversaries throughout the world.
Video footage has also emerged today of a captured Jordanian pilot being burned alive by ISIS. From The New York Times:
The lengthy footage shows clips of Jordan’s involvement in the United States-led airstrikes against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
At the end, the pilot, First Lt. Moaz al-Kasasbeh, stands inside of a cage and is burned alive when an unidentified militant uses a torch to ignite flammable liquid that has drenched the pilot’s clothing.
The Islamic State’s previous video executions of captives were all beheadings. The latest video, which was reported by the SITE Intelligence Group, an organization that monitors jihadist activity on the Internet, was the group’s first known execution by fire.
Additional images of ISIS’ most recent attack against an individual they have labeled as gay can be seen AFTER THE JUMP… (warning: graphic content)

Circuit Court Clears Way For Gay Marriage In Alabama
Circuit Court Clears Way For Gay Marriage In Alabama
A court has rejected the state of Alabama’s request to put a stay on gay marriage until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the matter. The decision means gay marriage in the state will be allowed beginning Feb. 9.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the request of state Attorney General Luther Strange on Tuesday. The Supreme Court plans to take up the matter of gay marriage bans in states this year.
U.S. District Judge Callie V.S. Granade ruled Jan. 23 that the state’s gay marriage ban was unconstitutional. Granade had issued a 14-day stay on her ruling to give the appeals court in Atlanta time to rule on the attorney general’s request.
The case’s plaintiffs, Cari Searcy and Kim McKeand, said they plan to ask the judge to lift the stay immediately, according to AL.com.
“I’m very excited about it. I just got off the phone with Kim and Cari. They’re thrilled,” attorney Christine Hernandez told the outlet. “It’s a great day for Alabama.”
This post has been updated with more details on the judge’s stay and the plaintiffs.
