Thomas Peters of the National
Organization for Marriage (NOM) says gay marriage foes will
eventually prevail because the human heart knows such unions are
wrong.
Appearing on Monday's episode of
Wallbuilders Live, Peters discussed how opponent would win the
debate.
“I'd say that the two big steps to
getting to that message, of course, are fighting against the
intolerance and hatred that is directed against us, especially in
schools,” Peters
said. “You have a lot of pro-marriage people my age and
younger in schools right now and they don't feel safe right now in
sharing their pro-marriage convictions on that vast majority of
college and high school campuses. That is something that has got to
end. We've got to figure out how to break down this ostracizing of
pro-marriage viewpoints.”
“And second of all, we have to
continually talk to people about how being pro-marriage is not
anti-gay and that there is simply nothing discriminatory about seeing
the love of a man and a woman as unique and special and worth
protecting.”
“Marriage just speaks to the human
heart and no matter how much propaganda you try to throw at that, the
human heart always reestablishes what it knows to be true. And we
just know it's true that there is a difference between two men coming
together and a man and a woman coming together. And so I think that
is the core message of marriage that eventually will overcome. The
question is how many people in the meantime are confused, how many
people lose out on that saving message.”
