Sometimes I need to go looking for an article that sparks a fire, other times I just open up CNN.com and NYtimes and issues will leap off the screen at me. I found an article entitled 'Heather Has Two Mommies' Is Still Relevant Thirty Years Later under the genre of . . . parenting.
"19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fool..." - Romans 1:19-22, ESV.
The truth is clearly visible to them, and yet they blind themselves to it.
The article opens up with this paragraph:
"Three years ago, when my daughter Marty was born, a queer friend gave me and my spouse a copy of Lesléa Newman’s iconic lesbian children’s book, “Heather Has Two Mommies.” It was meant as a joke about how heteronormative I’d become, getting married and having a child after years of firmly identifying as queer and aspiring to a life that challenges the norm. At the time, I threw the gag gift on a bookshelf to gather dust, only to realize later how valuable its lessons would be for my family."
There were a number of things that struck me throughout this column, but it was this sentence that seemed to sing Romans 1: "It was meant as a joke about how heteronormative I’d become, getting married and having a child after years of firmly identifying as queer and aspiring to a life that challenges the norm." In an effort to challenge the norm, the LGBTQ movement still realizes the need for families, albeit a discarded image of a family. It seems to be the paradox of their belief system - they seek to alter what is truly good and beautiful by raising up a new, twisted truth and insisting on everyone falling on the ground and worshipping it.
