We know this in our bones: \u201cHe\u2019s no good for you\u201d or \u201cshe\u2019s making you miserable\u201d or \u201cI know you love walking the dog, grandma, but he\u2019s going to knock you down.\u201d And yet, the U.S. Congress is about to pass a bill into law that runs directly against this obvious, freeing truth: that we need to love the right things, in the right way, at the right time, in the right measure for our loves to make us happy.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called Respect for Marriage bill, slinking its way through Congress during the current lame-duck session, claims to protect and respect marriage between any two individuals. The problem with this claim is two-fold.<\/p>\n<p>First, it is obviously wrong on its face that marriage between any two people is worthy of respect or protection. If California\u2019s legislature introduced, let\u2019s say, the Malibu Child Bride bill and it was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who would be willing to say such awful marriages of adults to young minors were worthy of respect? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut they consented,\u201d one might reply. Did they though? Yet, regardless of our inability to peer into the hearts of perverse adults and abused children, we need not respect or protect such marriages. But that is exactly what this bill says we all must do, each of us, in our states, in our communities, in our businesses, schools, and churches, and in our very persons before the public. The bill claims the opposite of the truth and demands by law that we all chant as one: \u201cEvery love will make us happy!\u201d Alas, we know the truth: Not every love will make us happy.<\/p>\n<p>The second problem with the bill\u2019s claim to protect marriage between any two individuals is that it is obvious to all that many, many Americans not only know, but deeply believe, both morally and religiously, that same, timeless truth: Not every love will make us happy. In fact, today many Americans, like nearly all Americans in the previous millennium, consider marriage to be a special institution designed for the sexual love of man and woman. <\/p>\n<p>Many Americans uphold this kind of sexual love as a kind of love that will make us happy; conversely, they both think and believe that marriage between a child and adult, a man and man, or a woman and woman is a contradiction in terms, because the purpose of using the word \u201cmarriage\u201d is for the pair to declare to the world that \u201cthis love will make us happy.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>And if the pair declares that, then the pair will also demand that others who may not think such a love will lead the pair to happiness must nevertheless, as the bill title puts it, \u201crespect\u201d and protect that love as a \u201cmarriage.\u201d The pair will attempt to force those other people to pretend that they think and believe as the pair does. The pair will attempt to coerce many,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The so-called Respect for Marriage bill demands that we lie to our fellow Americans precisely about which loves will make us all happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1577,"featured_media":1766798,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1766795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1766795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1577"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1766795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1766795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1766798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1766795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1766795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1766795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
