Dr. Martin Luther King's pointed to a transcendent moral standard as the foundation for his fight against segregation. I have long argued that the principles upon which he stood argue against rights for same-sex marriage.
The other day, I was taken to task by someone who stated that King never spoke against homosexuality.
There are several problems with this line of reasoning.
First, I have written of the principles King espoused to show that segregation was wrong. I then applied his principles to the issue of same-sex marriage. Your claim that King did not address homosexuality has nothing to do with whether I correctly I applied his principles to the same-sex marriage issue. See The Injustice of Same-sex Marriage.
Second, if King never addressed homosexuality and therefore it is wrong to reference him, then why do same-sex marriage advocates constantly call same-sex marriage a “civil rights” issue and related it to inter-racial marriage? They are clearly and illegitimately trying to bareback on the civil rights movement.
Third, King spoke on the legitimacy of interracial marriage. Why did he not also argue for the legitimacy of same-sex marriage? Could it be because the concept was so far outside the pail as to be rendered inconceivable to him?
Fourth, why has no culture nor any of the greatest thinkers, secular or religious, throughout history never - never - advocated same-sex marriage? Because they could knew it was an absurd concept. Same-sex marriage advocates are saying they know better than any of these individuals or cultures. That, at the very least, is arrogant. Capital A.
