EDMONTON, April 3, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Canada's top critic of judicial activism told a traveling parliamentary committee that militant homosexuals are pushing for same-sex marriage as a way to undermine the family - and that their own publications show that is what they are up to.
"You have some of Canada's most articulate leading gay-rights activists, not by coincidence law professors, arguing very explicitly that it's critical to rid society of so-called heterosexism, that the so-called heterosexual family be destroyed," said Ted Morton, a political scientist at the University of Calgary.
Activists are targeting the family as the "ideological centrepiece of heterosexual supremacy," he said, citing papers by homosexual legal "scholars," many of them from Ontario law schools. "My reading of this literature is that by destroying the legal support for heterosexual marriage and the family, gay activists hope to foster what they call a plurality of sexual and familial arrangements," Morton said.
Homosexual activists know perfectly well that theirs is a "culture of sexual hedonism and promiscuity," he added. "They cannot ask you to believe that they are simultaneously straight and kinky, responsible parents and sexual libertines. Sexual promiscuity is simply incompatible with stable families. As a freedom-loving, privacy-loving, liberty-loving person, I'm willing to tolerate lots of things," he said. "But there's a difference between tolerat[ing] something and defin[ing] it in law."
