Piggybacking on the Civil rights Movement
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great American. Dr. King courageously spoke out against the denial of basic human rights to a class or group of people on the basis of skin color or race. Dr. King came to a period of U.S. history where segregation between blacks and whites was the norm of the day, when blacks were treated as inferior to whites. Dr. King’s selflessness and sacrifice led to the toppling of institutionalized racism.
Dr. King’s activism came to be known as the Civil Rights Movement. Today, the Civil Rights Movement has been yanked out of its historical context, the struggle of the American Negros for their God-given rights, and has been extended to include the homosexual struggle for legitimacy. The homosexual movement is claiming that its struggle is equivalent to Dr. King’s struggle, and they claim they are being denied a basic human right when society does not grant same sex unions the same legitimacy as traditional marriage between a male and a female.
The Civil Rights Movement would be debasing the great legacy of Dr. King by granting the homosexual rights movement the same meaning and significance as the struggle of the Black people for social and political equality. Let us not lose sight of these basic premises:
1. Homosexuals have exactly the same rights today as any other citizen of the U.S.A. In fact, some laws have been unfairly written, that have robbed other groups, such as the Boy Scouts, of their right of religious expression, just to accommodate the homosexual thirst for legitimacy. The Black people on the other hand, were being denied basic human rights, such as the right to vote.
2. The homosexual struggle is, at its root, not a struggle for equality, but a struggle for legitimacy. A homosexual is a human being with God-given rights just like any other man or woman, but homosexuality is a practice, a behavior, a preference, a choice. It has no basis in nature, such as skin color, or gender. There not three sexes, but only two. On the other hand, being blacks is a physical distinction, but which physical distinction is not a basis for inferiority, just as being white is not a basis for superiority in any way.
3. Dr. King was a Baptist minister and a champion of righteousness. He believed in the truths of Scripture and the Word of God. I believe that if he were alive today, he would speak out against the apostate churches that have made the error of assigning those who practice homosexuality a special place in the Church. The Holy Scriptures treat homosexuality as an aberration, a sin just like adultery, stealing, or murder. Dr. King would be betraying his spiritual roots were he alive today and grant the practice of homosexuality the exalted status it enjoys in today’s society.
