It was interesting but perhaps not surprising to see
Cocoa-Cola, Disney, the NFL and the NCAA quickly huddle and threaten to boycott
Georgia if the Governor signed the Religious Freedom Bill. The Governor caved to the pressure and vetoed
the Bill.
This is just the latest and certain to be not the last
time that the new definitions of tolerance, fairness, equality and
inclusiveness trumps what many to believe are constitutionally protected rights
in our Constitution.
Cultural wars have been discussed academically and
sometimes even rationally for years but the present impact of cultural change
in America is profound. Few savvy
political sages and seers would have guessed as little as five years ago that
the Supreme Court of the United States would rule this past June 5-4 that the
Constitution requires that same-sex couples be allowed to marry.
The question for many theologically and culturally
conservative individuals and organizations is, "What's next?"
The answer is obvious: The culture is not just changing
but with the change, the actual definitions of moral truth, integrity, respect
and values have been redefined. Those
that embrace the LGBT agenda out of being non-discriminatory don't care if their agenda tramples over the
rights of the majority of American citizens. Political correctness now trumps not only
freedom of speech but also parental rights. Tolerance has been completely redefined as only benefiting those
who feel the most offended by traditional or conservative moral values.
Like the sexual revolution of the 1960's and 1970's, some witnessed, some participated, and some even
won individual battles; but it's
obvious now in retrospect that we lost that war.
