Letter: Supreme Court ruling approving gay marriage's legality was an ‘inane decision’

One person thinks the Supreme Court wrongly placed same-sex relationships on the same level as heterosexual ones.

 

The recent controversial decision by a sharply divided (5-4) Supreme Court to concoct a constitutional "right" to homosexual "marriage" won't be the last word on the subject. The ideologically based, politically biased decision, which basically puts heterophobic homosexuals on the same level as normal heterosexuals, so flies in the face of reason that it will eventually be overturned by more intelligent, less biased judges.     

Thinking people have known for centuries that homosexual activity is immoral and a bad legal precedent. The ancient and primitive Greek and Roman societies once valued homosexual activity, but people ultimately wised up and deprecated it. Plato, for example, wisely and logically opposed it as unethical. Some Supreme Court justices should be as wise as Plato on this subject.     

As female minds in male bodies and male minds in female bodies are sure signs that something went wrong somewhere (in nature and/or nurture), so homosexual minds in heterosexual bodies are also sure signs of mind/body mismatches and are sure signs of a disorder. To put obvious disorders like homosexuality on a par with normal heterosexuality is clearly absurd. To equate homosexual "marriage" with heterosexual marriage is nonsensical.     

Someday in the future people will look back at this regressive, inane decision and wonder "What were they thinking?" (or IF they were thinking). In the meantime, it's up to decent ethical people to work to overturn it. Let's get started.
