Comedy of errors - gender and marriage destruction

France is set to ban the words 'mother' and 'father'from all official documents under controversial plans to legalise gay marriage".As George Orwell said, "One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool.

Unfortunately, this open war against gender and mothers and fathers is not only happening in France but also in other western countries including America, Spain and Australia. In early 2011 President Obama removed the word mother and father from US passportapplications. In Spain the radical socialist government, after introducing homosexual marriage in 2005, removed the words mother and father from birth certificatesand in their place was 'Progenitor A' and 'Progenitor B'. In 2008 the NSW Parliament removed the necessity of putting the word 'father' on birth certificates.

For decades Australian fathers, especially single fathers, have suffered discriminationand even open hatred from government bureaucracies, family law courts and law enforcement officials. Unfortunately it looks like this open hatred is going to continue and perhaps increase.

Where did the war against gender and mothers and fathers start?

To find this out, one has to go back to some of the dedicated disciples of Karl Marx. Lenin said,"Destroy the family and you destroy society". The Frankfurt Schoolin Germany in the 1920s perfected Lenin's battle plan and became the springboard for the philosophical basis to destroy family, marriage and fatherhood.

Looking at western society over the last 50 years we see that the Frankfurt School and the cultural Marxists have achieved amazing success. Roz Ward's confession alerted us to the real agenda that lies behind the legalisation of homosexual marriage. The plague of fatherlessness confronting western society is a mute testimony to our acquiescence to their flawed ideologies, not to mention the appeasing of our own selfishness. Regrettably I include myself in the outworking of this tragedy. Unfortunately, we have all played a part in this so-called comedy of errors.

When you redefine marriage you destroy gender and when you destroy gender you destroy both marriage and family because marriage is a celebration of difference and not sameness.

So how can we turn back the tide of fatherlessness and family breakdown? How can we best protect our children caught in the middle of the darkness that comes when we willingly embark on the destruction of marriage and family?

Firstly, we must become the change we seek and put a priority on love, because as Martin Luther King said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that!"

Let us start by loving those closest to us. As a father and a husband I speak personally. We must love our wife and children and extended family. As Mother Teresa said, "World peace begins in the home".

Secondly, we must work at being good fathers. Hitler and Stalin both had shocking experiences with their fathers, along with Saddam Hussein. Almost 84 million people died to appease the guilt of those men's father wound.

On the other hand, good trees produce good fruit and the effect of good fathers is felt for generations to come.

Thirdly, we must be aware of what is happening in our society and the true political implications of so-called policies to reduce discrimination and produce equality. The quote from George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' comes to mind, "Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others". So-called policies to stop discrimination for minorities, end up discriminating against majorities. Our children then bear the brunt of this diabolical discrimination as their biological right to a mother and father is removed by governmental decree.

The introduction of homosexual marriage is a carefully calculated step towards a genderless society. Children need a father and a mother. Gender is important. Children thrive in the constant resolution of the tension between the male and the female of the species. Mothers and fathers bring something unique and precious to their natural biological children. It's funny how nature knows best. Let's put our children first for a change!
