Couple Forced to Divorce Because Gays Are Ruining Their Marriage
In DepthWell, the rumors are true: Gay marriage will ruin the sanctity of straight marriage. Need proof? Meet an Australian couple who are threatening to divorce if gays get the right to marry. Nick and Sarah Jensen believe that once those heathen gays can vow everlasting love to each other (and get equal rights), their own marriage becomes null, void and useless in the eyes of God—and thus, their own selves.
The Jensens appeared on the cover of the Canberra CityNews recently to make their very important proclamation: If the current climate of same-sex acceptance continues to grow in Australia and the federal parliament changes the official definition of the institution, the couple will be forced to divorce. Forced! Why? No one knows. It makes very little sense. Here’s what Nick Jensen (who is the leader of a prominent anti-gay group, something The Advocate reveals the CityNews failed to disclose) had to say about the couple’s decision:
“Why do this?” Jensen rhetorically asked the question many readers are likely wondering. “The reason is that, as Christians, we believe marriage is not a human invention,” he answered in the OpEd, later adding that “This is what we have to do as Christians who believe in a Biblical definition of marriage, that we can’t see that definition change in a way that no longer reflects God’s truth.”
What? How exactly is this something Christians have to do? Is it so that afterwards, the Jensens and whoever else is dumb enough to do this (Jensen claims he’s in the silent majority, which I do not believe) can whine about how other people being treated equally in the eyes of the law somehow strips them of their rights? That only Christians deserve the right to be married in the eyes of the Lord? If that’s true, why didn’t Jensen file for a divorce when he learned that non-Christians, even atheists, could get married?
No one—trust me, no one—is coming for biblical marriage. What homosexuals campaigning for gay marriage are coming for is the ability to feel like citizens with equal rights, something that seems to be even more necessary considering that newspapers are willing to publish garbage like this.
