Homosexuality ‘not a civil right’
Jim Brown – OneNewsNow -
The chairman of the Orange County (California) Board of Education says she is “appalled” that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is asking schools to set aside a day to honor a controversial homosexual activist.
Schwarzenegger signed a bill earlier this week creating an annual day of recognition for Harvey Milk. The designation of each May 22 as “Harvey Milk Day” encourages schools around the state to commemorate the murdered homosexual politician and activist. (See earlier story)
Last month, the Orange County Board of Education voted unanimously (5-0) to oppose the creation of Harvey Milk Day. Dr. Alexandria Coronado, chairman of that board, says she is “absolutely furious” that the homosexual community is claiming that passage of the Harvey Milk bill is a civil rights victory.
“I think it just absolutely denigrates the entire civil rights movement. Homosexuality is not a civil right,” Coronado emphasizes.
“I don’t remember the last time that a homosexual person was forced to move out of their seat on a public bus, like Rosa Parks. And I don’t remember the last time that a homosexual person or student…was forced to go to a segregated school, as in the case of Mendez v. Westminster, which took place right here in Orange County, California.”
Dr. Coronado says she also opposes Harvey Milk Day because several Californians are more worthy than Milk of a special day of recognition, including the late President Ronald Reagan and former Governor Pat Brown. She also argues that Harvey Milk Day wastes school staff time and money that could be used for more educational purposes.

The outcome of legalizing gay marriage would mean the overthrow of the U.S. Constitution. It would also mean the total destruction of marriage and the family as it has stood for over 5,000 years.
If gay marriage is sanctioned by the State, then anyone opposing it will be punished. They will be silenced by loss of job, fines imposed, or jail time. Church leaders will be punished for preaching against homosexuality, and churches will lose their tax-free status, so that they can be taxed out of existence. We have already seen some of this in certain countries. So much for freedom of religion or conscience, free speech, right of association, security in your papers, and so forth.
I don’t recall any teachings about hetersexual marriage throughout my education in U.S. schools. But upon the sanction of gay marriage by the government, it is gay marriage that will be taught to children in all the schools, and promoted as an acceptable institution. Children will be encouraged to tell what is being taught to them at home, so that parents who speak against homosexuality can be declared unfit and not in compliance with the law, followed by the children being removed from the home. So much for parental rights. We’ve seen it happening. If gay marriage is sanctioned, ONLY gays will have rights. As things currently stand, everyone in our country already has the same rights. Why change that?
Traditional marriage is a product of religion. Indeed, it IS religion. Marriage is ordained of God for the benefit of mankind. Governments have almost always protected it for obvious reasons: for freedom of religion or conscience, for the perpetuation of the race, and for the protection of men, women and children. Gay marriage is a product of the State. It has nothing to do with conscience. But it will become the “state religion,” except that it will not be called by that name; and it threatens to supplant and replace all other religions as it is forced upon us, contrary to our free will.
You can NOT have it both ways. You cannot sanction traditional marriage and gay marriage at the same time. It won’t work. The one will supplant the other. It is like trying to mix oil and water. You cannot do it. If the selfish indulgence of homosexuality is sanctioned, then the rights that go with religion and traditional marriage will be utterly destroyed in time. What is at stake here is the freedom of all nations. And the attack against it is authored by anti-Christ.
Lake Effect. Lol. I think you’re being a little overdramatic. The US constitution will survive just fine. All of your claims are completely false and unfounded. There is no truth to any of it. It is simply a cut-and-paste rant which you have used numerous times.
Lake Effect. “the freedom of all nations is at stake”. Really?????? You said that? Oh pullleeezzzzeeee!!!
Lake Effect. If traditional marriage is a product of religion and not of the state, you surely won’t mind giving up the benefits of marriage given by the state such as tax breaks, social security benefits, lower estate taxes, and over 1100 other benefits. Those benefits given by the state should be reserved for state marriages, aka gay marriages, don’t you think? Only trouble is, none of those benefits are given to gay marriages but reserved for your religious marriages. So which of your marriages are truly the state marriage?
