| Michelangelo Signorile: "[The
goal is] to fight for same-sex marriage and its benefits and
then, once granted, redefine the institution of marriage completely,
to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society's
moral codes but rather to debunk a myth and radically alter
an archaic institution. . . .The most subversive action lesbian
and gay men can undertake . . . is to transform the notion of
'family' entirely."18
There will be no peace. Efforts to "reform"
marriage and family will continue. Having been granted "membership"
in the institution of marriage, activists will not hesitate
to advocate persistently for change in that institution.
ntil
only the past few decades, homosexual activity was universally
condemned and had been so since ancient times. How quickly
- and dramatically - views have changed! If same-sex civil
unions or marriages are recognized under the law, individuals
whose "orientation" draws them to polygamy, incest,
or sexual relationships with younger people will seek legal
recognition or "tolerance" of their relationships.
They will attack as artificial all models based on sexual
orientation ("normal" heterosexual or "mainstream"
homosexual).
