President Barack Obama, occupant of the bully pulpit, set aside the past month to celebrate a most peculiar thing.
"Now, each June since I took office," Obama said in a June 15 speech at the White House, "we have gathered to pay tribute to the generations of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans who devoted their lives to our most basic of ideals — equality not just for some, but for all."
Among the places our president said he wanted "equality not just for some, but for all" — that is, presumably, including "bisexuals" — is in the institution of marriage.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- I LOVE THIS QUESTION FROM THE WRITER, "So, who does he believe bisexuals have a "right" to marry?"
This quote from John Adams puts this in a total biblical perspective about our republic:
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other."
What we have in America now is exactly that, "human passions unbridled by morality and religion". President John Adams told us what would happen otherwise. This, "No government armed with power capable of contending" with it.
