Since the mid-1980s, activist groups have engaged in a concerted effort to impose acceptance of homosexual behavior on the American people. The goal has been to overwhelm the American psyche with a seemingly ubiquitous cultural conversation about the subject and a precise, predetermined portrayal of those who engage in homosexual behavior as happy and carefree (a.k.a. “gay”) in movies and on television. Through these and other means, millions upon hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to propagandize Americans and persuade us that homosexual behavior is normal and that opposition to it is antiquated and indicative of ignorance, rather than intelligence.

In recent years, these efforts have been coupled with a PR push aimed at convincing us that societal acceptance of same-sex “marriage” has been achieved and that the belief in marriage as only a union between one man and one woman has gone the way of the dinosaurs. Thus, when a same-sex couple comprised of two females recently asked how they could guide their child through “Father’s Day” activities at school, “expert” adviser Steve Petrow said:

"These days, most North American families don’t conform to the classic model of the nuclear family, so not having a father at home is a pretty common scenario. When push comes to shove, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a single mom raising her child alone, a mother who’s been widowed, or a pair of lesbian moms: a family is a family, with or without a dad around."

The good news is that same-sex “marriage” is not nearly as popular as the left would have us think: it’s certainly nowhere close to mainstream. And traditional marriage is not nearly as outdated.

The Alliance Defense Fund and Public Opinion Strategies just the announced the results of a research endeavor designed to ascertain an accurate view of the public’s opinion on marriage. After conducting more than 1,500 surveys and a scientific poll (conducted May 16 – 19 of this year), we were thrilled to find that 62 percent of Americans believe marriage should only be a union between one man and one woman.

Think about it:  62 percent (only 4 percent away from 2/3 of all Americans).

While such a high number may seem staggering to anyone who has bought into the left’s roster of seemingly endless polls showing that support for true marriage has faded to nearly nothing, the number, 62 percent, is right in line with numbers voters in various states across the nation have been providing at the ballot box since 1998.

The message this particular research communicates is simple:  Americans are married to marriage. They believe in marriage as it’s always been, and they want it to remain that way.
