AFA press release - 11/18/03 - MASSACHUSETTS HIGH COURT TO HOMOSEXUALS: "COME AND GET IT!": "'This decision,' said Brian Fahling, Senior Trial Attorney for the American Family Association Center for Law & Policy, 'is on an order of magnitude that is beyond the capacity of words. The court has tampered with society's DNA and the consequent mutation will reap unimaginable consequences for Massachusetts and our nation.'

Steve Crampton, the Center's Chief Counsel, agreed with the words of dissenting Justice Sosman who observed, 'today, the court has transformed its role as protector of individual rights into the role of creator of rights.'

Crampton stated, 'This ruling marks one of the darkest days in the history of American law. Unless the people of the State of Massachusetts rise up with one voice in opposition to this lawless and socially destructive decision, it will destroy society as we know it.'"

How? Maybe I am dense, but how does letting gay people marry harm our society? Why is this "Christian" organization more concerned about loving homosexuals than about global warming (oh, right, a myth) or poverty?

It is easy to dismiss the AFA as crackpot. They are. But how many Americans believe this? I hope not many.
