This is an article whose inception has come from some recent interactions on other blogs with regard to NAR’s update of Article 10 of the Code of Ethics concerning discrimination against sexual orientation. Though I participated in commentary on this topic, what really was bothering me was what follows. Simply put, I’m pretty damned tired of being proselytized and dumbed down by NAR, and even more tired of watching the planet forsake common sense because crafty special interest groups have figured out how to dilute the “Fathertongue” so as to render it useless.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m against \u201cGay Marriage\u201d, and wanted to talk with you about why.<\/p>\n

Wait, excuse me for a minute\u2026there\u2019s a bunch of people at my door.\u00a0 Oh my, it\u2019s the ACLU, some folks with signs with something about LGBT on them, some reporters from MSNBC, and even someone from NAR with a photocopy of the newly amended Article 10 sexual orientation anti-discriminatory verbiage<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ground rule #1 \u2013 This is not about religion<\/strong>. Yes, I am a Christian, and yes Christians mostly believe that gay marriage is not appropriate. Yes, I\u2019m one of them. But in this article you get no traction with any comments slamming Christianity. This is not about my faith. As with most \u201cdiscrimination\u201d issues, I am well able to separate my philosophy and faith from an honest discussion about rule of law, society, sociology, the family, and more importantly, the long hand of a master to whom I owe no allegiance.<\/p>\n

Your Right to Throw a Punch Ends Where My Nose Begins<\/h2>\n

This saying has been a way of life for me for as long as I was able to stick up for myself. Hopefully you won\u2019t find the saying controversial. It\u2019s a reminder that I am an individual, complete and independent, and while we do in fact interact, your right to exercise your independence ends where my \u201cnose\u201d begins. You may shout or debate. You may whisper behind my back, or come to my door with placards. You may join with your own pugilists to wage war on my philosophy. You may lobby and convince. All these things you may Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
