From Tolerance to Tyranny: Feeding the Gender BeastObergefell v. Hodges upended DOMA

In our age of gender mania, does anyone even remember the word tolerance, the seemingly modest request of same-sex couples some years ago? Or the Defense of Marriage Act, a statute enacted by Congress and thirty-one states to clarify that marriage could be only between a man and a woman? Official supporters included Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and …. Joe Biden.
Obviously the 2015 United States Supreme Court opinion, Obergefell v. Hodges, upended these laws. That opinion discovered, 227 years after the Constitution’s ratification, that the Equal Protection clause demands acceptance of same-sex marriage, though one wonders if real acceptance can ever be demanded.
Many thought the decision would lay to rest sexual politics, since marriage had long been the end goal for activists.
But the opposite has happened: Far from settling sexual politics, Obergefell has escalated its demands. Now the country is told to accept the overt sexualization of kids with “Drag Queen Story Hour” and parade chants like, “We’re here! We’re queer! We’re coming for your children!”
Worse, current gender ideology promotes Frankenstein procedures, monstrously called “gender affirming care,” where clinicians distribute drugs to, or mutilate the genitals of, confused people, including minors, pretending they can change someone’s sex. Regular citizens are also browbeaten and sued to participate in this brave new sex world, forced to bake wedding cakes, design websites or use nonsensical pronouns for the sex totalitarians.
How did we go from tolerance to tyranny? Indeed – to this war on sexual reality?
Until recently almost all societies channeled human sexuality toward marriage and children to ensure a stable future, whether those societies were polygamous or monogamous. In fact, many cultures even today arrange marriages, a sign of how important marriage is in their eyes. Conservative Dinesh D’Souza, an immigrant from India, once explained that his country viewed marriage as too significant to leave to foolish young people; hence, arranged matrimony.
