‘President Obama and the Democrats will actually force straight people to enter same-sex marriages’

That’s what Zack Ford at Think Progress says Nation for Marriage president Brian Brown claims. 

Here’s what Brown wrote: 

"Obama is running for re-election on a platform to re-define marriage for everyone. 

But don’t take my word for it. Obama’s official, national platform has codified homosexual marriage as its policy for all Americans! 

You see, Obama’s platform actually calls for the “full repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act” and imposes “one man and one man” marriage on all of us. They even tried to throw God out of the picture entirely. [...] 

If Christians, marriage supporters, and people of faith sit on their hands, marriage will be re-defined like an outdated institution and homosexual marriage will become the law of the land."

What Brown means is that if marriage is redefined and discards its gender requirement, it will affect all Americans: 

• What school children will be taught in sex education classes
• Which employees will be fired for defending gender integration in marriage
• Organizations shut down for not placing children in monogender households
• Who is considered a mother
• How many businesses will be sued by same-gender couples
• Courts considering your grandparents, friends, and neighbors guilty of discrimination for defending pro-gender marriage

Now here’s what Think Progress claims Brown said:

“Brown claimed that President Obama and the Democrats will actually force straight people to enter same-sex marriages…
… The universe Brown imagines, in which straight people are not allowed to marry people of the opposite sex, is complete fiction.”

Will we be jailed if we refuse to enter a same-sex marriage?!  Will we be forced to divorce our current husbands and wives before we are forced into SSM?!!  Or will we go for a threesome, as did Brazil?!!!


Think again, Think Progress.

Let's see if we can break this down for you.  We can use abortion as an example.  Legalizing abortion affected all of us:  our laws, our taxes, our health, our demographics.  Once abortion became the “law of the land” it went from “safe, legal and rare” to the current 50 million abortions, a huge impact. 

Ford's claim about what Brown says is akin to saying that because abortion was imposed on us by Roe v. Wade and is the law of the land, every person in America will be forced to get an abortion. 

Or because Obamacare covers birth control, we all need to go on the Pill.  Or because Contraception Czar Sandra Fluke favors charging taxpayers for gender reassignment surgery, then we all need to switch our sexes.

Talk about “complete fiction.”

Think Progress must think its readers are morons. 

In order to redefine marriage, activists such as Ford redefine reality.
