You can't defeat the cancer that is killing our society by dealing with only one aspect of it, you have to cut it out at the core in order for the body to survive.
Recriminalizing homosexuality and changing our cultural mores' is a step in the right direction that very well might save our once Christian nation.
So knowing what harm homosexuality does to the individual engaging in it and knowing what harm the homosexual agenda has done to western civilization, you're going to sit back and do absolutely nothing about it?
I opened this 3 part thread with this quote:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Edmund Burke
If a person knows that evil exists and does absolutely nothing about it, can that person call himself a man? I think not, as being a man, amongst other things requires courage in the face of adversity.
Perhaps you have an underlying problem with recriminalization fearing that a close friend or relative will be effected by it?
I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders.
-- Jewish Proverb
No, I would not like to "sit back and do nothing", and I agree with both the Burke quote and the proverb.
I try to persuade on forums, and vote my conscience. When I was teaching, I spoke my mind, and I speak my mind to family and associates. I would agree that being a man has to do with integrity and courage in the face of adversity, but other than dissent, where is the opportunity for this? Tell me, that I may learn from you.
Look at North Carolina and other states where majorities voted in bans on SSM , and look how easily all of this is washed away.
I am just wondering on a grand scale what you envision as the first steps of a backlash and reversal, at a time when the Supreme Court, the federal judges, the mainstream media, and the majority all seem to have tipped in the totally opposite direction? If you were to lay it out for me as a political prediction (the first signs of the reversal) I would fully appreciate it (and I am not being snarky but with genuine respect I ask this; I see how fully you have dedicated your time and your thought to this area.).
My family member is so obnoxious and dismissive of me (in ways going well beyond gay rights) that I would not give a hoot about a reversal, by the way.
So that you may see I am genuine, and not in any manner trollish, I will tell you the possibilities I have seen outside of any violent action, and in tandem with dissent :
1. That SCOTUS will hand the matter of SSM back to the states, beginning a reversal.
2. that public opinion may shift due to economic perils, shortages, diseases, war
3. That the gay agenda may become too hubristic and lay the seeds for its own implosion (this group's logo is "Imploding Gay Power"

4. Here is one man's idea of action, from the above cited website; He asserts that there is only one solitary venue left and that efforts must be redirected as he indicates. Do you agree with him, CW?:
2.1 Exposing the falsehood of "born gay" is the only path to victory
Although gay power appears to be a powerful monolith, it is strikingly fragile because it is built on a lie. The lie is “There’s an organic basis for homosexuality. I was born this way. My sexual orientation is fixed.” If the lie can be countered effectively, gay power will crash.
Before you dismiss this approach remember that one definition of “insanity” is “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” If we could not defeat the gay agenda ten years ago when our supporters were stronger and opponents weaker is there any reason to believe it can be defeated now unless we do something different? It is imperative that we redirect our efforts.***See also section 2.5 Spreading the Death of Gay Power
