Is Same-Sex “Marriage”
an
Unresolved Issue
for American Conservatives?
Objective political analysts have stated
that moral values in general and opposition to same-sex
“marriage” in particular were the great catalysts
in the November 2004 elections.
If family and moral values were so decisive,
then why would same-sex “marriage” be an unresolved
issue for conservatives?

At 4:50 p.m. today, Patrick Guerriero,
executive director of Log Cabin Republicans, is scheduled
to present his views on the Federal Marriage Amendment
in one of five discussions titled “Conservative
Principle and Unresolved Issues: Differences Within the
Family.”
It is possible that Mr. Guerriero will
limit himself to arguing that the issue of marriage is
best left to the states and that we should not pursue
a federal constitutional amendment. This would not reflect
his position entirely, however, since the Log Cabin Republicans
website characterizes the Federal Marriage Amendment as
“anti-family.”1
Thanks to activist judges, same-sex
“marriage” may be an unresolved legal and
political issue in America today. But it is not an unresolved
issue from the moral perspective. As explained in detail
in the American TFP’s 2004 book Defending a
Higher Law: Why We Must Resist Same-Sex “Marriage”
and the Homosexual Movement, same-sex “marriage”
violates natural law and divine law.2
The American TFP asks:
1. Is the Federal Marriage Amendment
anti-family?
2. Are the “values voters”
who want federal and state constitutional amendments to
protect traditional marriage and ban same-sex “marriage”
anti-family?
3. Is opposition to same-sex “marriage”
really an unresolved issue for American
conservatives?
TFP encourages all CPAC participants
to say NO to these three questions, especially during
today’s 4:50 p.m. discussion on the Federal Marriage
Amendment.
