Rainbow City

Dear Reader,

Last Friday, the 26th of June, I got up and got online. I was greeted by some Facebook posts, the first of which I saw were vague, but I started to see what they were all about. Then, I saw the news story that made me gasp, cover my mouth with my hand in shock, and sent shivers up and down my spine. The Supreme Court had ruled that gay marriage was now legal in all fifty states. I logged onto Twitter. Hashtag "lovewins" was trending, referring to the Supreme Court decision that had disturbed me to my core. Thankfully, I follow a lot of Catholic pages on my Twitter, and these fed my sagging, sad, and disappointed spirit with inspiring images and phrases which I proceeded to share on my Facebook page.

As the day progressed, I processed this information. Later, I logged onto Facebook again. "Oh goody," I thought to myself very sarcastically, "everyone's true colors are showing." That's right, I'm talking about those very obvious rainbow filters showing up over an alarming number of my friends' profile photos. These friends were displaying their support of gay "marriage" and marriage equality. I put marriage in quotation marks in that last sentence because marriage is an institution between one man and one woman, and no court decision is going to change that. Gay marriage and heterosexual marriage (sad we have to make that distinction now) are not equal. For you see, one is marriage and one is a distorted semblance of marriage.

I listened to EWTN radio, and I received some inspiration from this source as well. This crush to the Catholic world is disappointing, but this battle is not over. Not yet. Read Revelation and you'll see who wins. Spoiler alert: evil, lies, and the embracing of perverted pleasure doesn't win in the end.

Keep up the faith, and stand up for what you know is right. If you don't know what's right and what's wrong, inform yourself. If you think that gay "marriage" is okay and something to be celebrated, you are incorrect. I tell you this as your sister in Christ who cares about your soul.
