Well, it was a historic day at the White House as Joe Biden signed what the Washington Post is calling a landmark bill to protect same-sex and interracial marriages. Now, you thought that interracial marriage has not been a big deal in the United States for approximately 50, maybe 60 years. And you'd be right. The whole purpose of shoving interracial marriage into the same-sex marriage bill was to pretend that if you oppose same-sex marriage, it is the same thing as if you oppose interracial marriage, that racism and quote-unquote homophobia, that these are all the same phenomenon. That really it's all about bigotry and evil. That's the reason why they shoved all of this into the same bill so that if you voted against the federal enshrinement of same-sex marriage, then you were also voting against federal enshrinement of interracial marriage. It's a particularly vicious and stupid game. But Joe Biden was out there celebrating this. They had a star-studded event with music and wonderful guests will get to some of their guests in just a little while because these really are the cream of the American crop. It's the best that Western civilization has to offer. President Biden on Tuesday afternoon signed the respect for marriage act into law, according to the Washington Post, granting federal protections to same-sex and interracial couples, marking a milestone in the decades-long fight for marriage

equality. And so I think that it's important to note here that what we saw yesterday at the White

House is the beginning. It is not the end. Everybody who's pretending that this was the end point

of the same-sex marriage movement, that the end point of the LGBTQ minus plus divided by sign movement

is going to be same-sex marriage, is dead wrong. And Joe Biden said that out loud yesterday.

And it is very clear that the goal here, the goalposts keep moving. They keep moving because in the

end, what the LGBTQ plus minus divided by sign movement is about is not merely the idea that they should be able to live the lives that they want without being bothered in the privacy of their own homes. The idea is that the ideology that undergirds their belief system must be imposed on you. You as a religious person in your daily life. You and your schools. You and your churches. The notion that this is going to stop is just a lie. It is not

true. And as proof, I would like to offer this clip of Joe Biden's circa 2006, because the goalposts

have moved. I've mentioned this before. The goalposts moved from the reasonable to the not

reasonable to the insane. They moved from, we wish to lead our sexual lives as we want without

you interfering in our bedroom. And Americans

for a very long time said, that's fine. Even sodomy laws, for example, that were on the books

in many states were generally not enforced, even in the years well leading up to Lawrence v.

Lawrence v. Texas. So they said, just leave us alone. We don't want to be criminalized in terms of our private activity. Fine. Then it turned into, we just want civil unions so that if we are in a relationship with a member of the same sex, these people can visit us at the hospital and they can be in our wills just by nature of law. And many Americans are like, okay, that's totally fine. All right, make sense. In fact, it was Mitt Romney in Massachusetts, who was one of the first people to sign into law, civil unions,

in the state of Massachusetts. Then it was, well, it's not enough for us to have them called unions. We want them to be called marriage. We want the same moral respect as a traditional marriage. And a lot of people say, well, hold up a second. This isn't the same phenomenon. And you can say a lot of things about same-sex relationships, but it is very difficult to claim they have the same societal value as traditional male-female

diaz producing children, which is what the institution of marriage is predicated upon.

The institution of marriage is just an enshrinement of the simple biological fact that men and

women combine to create children and then raise those children. That is all the marriage is.

You can pretend that other forms of relationship are equivalent. You can pretend that other forms of relationship have similar societal value. They do not. So a lot of people say, well, no, hold up just a minute. But the case that the left made on this was that marriage really isn't about the production of children. It's really not about creating family units. Marriage is just about who you love. And once they had redefined that, and they'd actually done this well in advance of same-sex marriage. They'd done this with regard to, for example, no fault divorce. The idea being that there wasn't anything sacred about marriage, there wasn't anything unifying or creative of a family unit about marriage who was just about who you loved. So if you didn't love somebody, then divorce was totally on the table, so no fault divorce is fine. Once marriage had been redefined as just love between two individual human beings, then of course, same-sex marriage fell under that rubric. So many Americans were like, even there, they were like, okay. And then it moved to, well, now, if you are a person who doesn't actually believe that same-sex marriage and traditional marriage are morally equivalent, You still must celebrate same-sex marriage in every aspect of your life. It's very
