Aaron Zelinsky est favorable au "mariage" homo. Dans The Huffington Post, il se réjouit de la décision de la Cour suprême de Californie :
While some commentators criticize the California Court's decision, Strauss v. Horton is actually good for gay marriage in the long term.
The Court's decision drives home that the future of gay rights lies
at the ballot box and not in the courts. We should view the California
Court not as opposing gay marriage, but rather as promoting public
deliberation and democratic action on the subject of equal rights.
As a technical matter, the central issue in Strauss was
whether the sentence "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid
or recognized in California" was a constitutional amendment or a
constitutional revision. In practice, the political question presented
by Strauss was whether the California Supreme Court would
strike down a popularly enacted constitutional change and restore its
earlier judicial decision supporting same-sex marriage.
By upholding Proposition 8, the California Court effectively tossed
the ball back to the voters of the Golden State. The Court thereby
ensured the long-term outcome of gay marriage: Given the strong support
of younger voters, gay marriage will be approved in California by
ballot initiative, perhaps quite soon. Moreover, when gay marriage is
approved by popular vote, conservatives will not be able to blame a
"judicial activist" court for their loss.
Gay marriage will stand on sounder footing when it is popularly
enacted rather than judicially imposed. One can imagine the wedge issue
Strauss could have handed the Republican Party had the Court
overturned the decision of the California electorate. Instead,
opponents of same sex marriage must fight it out again at the ballot
box.
Aaron Zelinsky réalise que le lobby homo a tout à perdre à passer en force. Il est persuadé que les jeunes, majoritairement favorables aux parodies homosexuelles de mariage, vont permettre un jour ou l'autre la victoire de son camp. Il ne prend pas en compte l'immigration (les minorités latinos mais surtout afro-américaines ont davantage voté pour la proposition 8, donc pour interdire le "mariage" homo), ni les conversions ou reconversions, ces chrétiens "born again" : on ne compte plus les libéraux qui ont rejoint les rangs conservateurs ces dernières décennies... Mais la forte hausse du nombre d'athées (8% en 1990, 15% en 2008, viennent-ils des confessions chrétiennes progressistes déjà contaminées par la culture de mort ou des rangs évangéliques et catholiques fidèles au Magistère ?) est inquiétante. Et le positionnement de plus en plus social et environnemental, de moins en moins sociétal de certaines "églises" évangéliques interroge. Vigilance !
