Nine leading homosexual-activist groups are reiterating their strategy to redefine marriage across the nation. And they're getting plenty of funding along the way.
In an online alert, they advise same-sex couples: "Don’t go suing right away. Most lawsuits will likely set us all back. There are other ways to fight which are more likely to win.
"The fastest way to win the freedom to marry throughout America is by getting marriage through state courts and state legislatures. We need to start with states where we have the best odds of winning. When we’ve won in a critical mass of states, we can turn to Congress and the federal courts."
One of the men with the money is multi-millionaire software mogul Tim Gill, a homosexual activist who has reshaped Colorado's political landscape and is at work across the nation.
"The gay-activist community continues to clearly articulate its game plan," said Caleb H. Price, research analyst at Focus on the Family. "It behooves us as Christians to recognize this is a zero-sum game, and there will be one winner and one loser.
"The threat is before us, and we must take action by turning out in record numbers and not wavering in our stand for God’s created intent for marriage, gender and the family. The stakes have never been higher."
Twenty-seven states have put up roadblocks to the gay agenda, by amending their constitutions to protect marriage as between one man and one woman. At least two more states will vote in November on whether to do likewise: California and Florida. Arizona is working to put a marriage amendment on this year's ballot.
The gay-activist groups claim they've "won marriage in California" — same-sex "weddings" will begin next week, thanks to an activist-minded California Supreme Court. But that "victory" would be short-lived if voters amend the state constitution this fall.
A federal marriage-protection amendment, which is sitting in Congress, would guarantee one definition of marriage — instead of 50.
