While the whole Federalist article is worthy of read, I am going to quote one part from near the conclusion.
"The hard push for marriage equality was never about marriage. Neither was it about equality. It’s a convenient vehicle to abolish civil marriage, whether to rid the world of paternalism, evade responsibility for children, “privatize” relationships, or whatever. Abolishing marriage strips the family of its autonomy by placing it much more directly under the regulating control of the state. Once the state no longer has to recognize the marriage relationship and its presumption of privilege and privacy, we all become atomized individuals in the eyes of the state, officially strangers to one another. We lose the space – the buffer zone – that the institution of the natural, organic family previously gave us and that forced the state to keep its distance. Isn’t it ironic that feminists would replace the “paternalism” of marriage (what happened to strong women?) with the new paternalism of state regulation of personal relationships? Isn’t it ironic that singles in this scheme of things simply end up marrying the state? At some point, we must conclude that freedom of association has its source in state acceptance of the core family as the primary buffer zone between the individual and the state. There is no escaping this fact, no matter a particular generation’s attitude or public opinion polling, or advances in medical technology, or whatever else comes our way."
To paraphrase, the federal government is a covetous entity and is never content with remaining in its rightful place. Those things that stand in its way because they cannot be controlled, be it foreign powers, the church or the family will always be the enemy of its encroachment efforts. In the end, the homosexual agenda with its call of equal rights, is nothing but a smokescreen, a means of making use of "useful idiots" to expand the span of government control over areas of life that have previously been off-limits to their intrusion. By the time everyone, including those supposedly leading this charge, realizes what they have given up in order to attain their objectives, they will find that they helped create the beast that will eventually turn on them.
