This last week on the Dennis Prager show, Dennis made a point about Gay Marriage that I have not heard anywhere else, and I think he hit the nail on the head. It is his opinion that homosexual marriage has nothing to do with the equality of homosexuals right to marriage, but rather it has everything to do with the distinct roles of men and woman in society. The secular Left since the 60s has taught in our university's that there is no difference between men and woman. for example, they teach that men and woman's sexuality are the same, as a side note, anyone who has been married know this is not true. the left has done a great job at tearing down the traditional roles of men and woman in society. We are taught this in the universities, we are pounded over and over in the media that the roles of the traditional family is not something to be desired. unfortunately our society has bought into this doctrine, and we see the effects of more and more woman choosing to leave the home to work. so, if enough people believe that the distinct roles of men and woman in society are due to archaic traditions, then why not let gay people get married. after all, if there is no difference between the sexes then a child looses nothing not having a father and a mother in the home.

How grateful I am for the proclamation on the family.

"all human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose....By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children."

Our Gender and roles are distinct. If you take this away, then the argument is much easier to win and focus on equality as we have seen in the media. Elder Packer has taught that we must preserve the masculinity of the man and the femininity of the woman. As you want movies and TV shows, just pay attention to how woman and men are portrayed. Generally you will see Woman in the light of being this strong and empowered Woman who takes the masculine role who saves the day, something that 30 years ago the man play. and you will see men portrayed in the light of an incompetent buffoon. it is staggering the message we see everyday and the importance to protect these distinctions.
