Since the State of Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriages, there have been several attempts to follow suit and even to expand the idea in other jurisdictions. Court cases in other states have sought to legalize the union of same-sex couples and some even of three persons, two of which were of the same sex. The ancient definition of marriage as being the union of two persons of opposite sex, united under the law, to procreate and establish a family unit, is under severe attack from many quarters. If this definition is changed, where will it stop? Marriages of two persons of the same sex is only the first step; what about three persons, or perhaps four or five?

The same-sex marriage idea was brutally defeated here in the United States, in all of eleven states where the question appeared on the ballot during the election last November. This however, is not enough to defeat its proponents. A phenomenon of our lifetimes has been the systematic attack on our institutions and individual thinking.

Ever since the Frankfurt Institute developed its doctrine of "Political Correctness" in 1923, its adoption by the liberal academia, politicians and mass media, have taught generations that their thinking has to conform to certain rules; that their thinking and more to the point, the expression of their thoughts, have to be "politically correct." But, what about the expression of one's real thoughts? What about individuality? What about the values that we hold sacred, as did our parents and grandparents before us? Our major universities teach their students not to express them, to conform to the accepted views, as shaped by themselves, the liberal politicians and mass media.

Charlton Hesston beautifully expressed these thoughts in a speech he gave before the law students at Harvard in 1999. He bluntly told them that their grandparents would be ashamed if they could see what they had become.

The dilemma even reached the formerly conservative Spain.

The Congress in Spain has just passed, in a vote of 186 in favor, 136 against and 6 abstentions, a reform of their civil code to permit same-sex marriages. They merely changed the definition of marriage from being between "a man and a woman" to being "between two persons" and in a different instance, to being between "spouses."

Only the PP (Partido Popular or "Popular Party") voted against it, in addition to three delegates from Cataluña. Luckily, the bill now goes to the Senate, where the PP is a majority.

Where will this lead, in Europe, America and elsewhere? God only knows! Many people who would defend the definition of marriage as we know it, opt for silence, not to provoke criticism and being branded as "gay bashers." The doctrine of political correctness has already convinced many that it is better to be silent or to tone down one's comments, rather than to provoke the criticism of those poised to pounce at the slightest manifestation of individuality.

To my way of thinking, it is not "gay bashing." I have nothing against gays; have good friends who happen to be gay. Still, while not condemning the gay person, I must defend the ancient, traditional and holy definition of marriage, as being the base of our society as we know it. Let's hope it stays the same forever.

But for that to happen, we need for each of you to raise your voice and lift your pen to state your true feelings on the matter, regardless of whether or not is "politically correct."
