What Mother's Day Has to Do with Gay Marriage?

May I share what's on my heart as we look forward to Mother's Day?

Question: In a society, where "families" are run by "married gay couples", what need or purpose would Mother's Day serve? Is it possible to really celebrate motherhood while we dismiss the place for biological motherhood, which is the net effect of homosexual marriage?

Few women have the time to take in the seriousness of the tide that is fast turning against their sacred role as the greenhouse of the human race. In fact, some women are actually celebrating what they see as "gay marriage" victories. We all need to realize that any victory for "gay marriage" is a tragic defeat for womanhood in general and for motherhood in particular.


By definition two men or two women cannot biologically conceive and beget a human baby. Homosexual marriage then, by its very nature, rules out motherhood in the reproductive sense. (And fatherhood too, but that's a blog for Father's Day.) Yes, being a woman is much more than procreation, yet womanhood has to at least include the capacity for motherhood.

That being the case, then to promote any form of marriage that rules out biological procreation is to demote biological motherhood. Therefore, to the extent that homosexual marriage spreads throughout this country and the world, to that extent the role of mothers will become marginalized. 


Again, the question corners me, demanding an urgent answer: Is it possible to celebrate Mother's Day and not mourn the affront on motherhood that "gay marriage" represents?


For Bible-based Christians in this generation, Mother's Day has to also become a Day of Prayer for Motherhood to be delivered from the fangs of radical homosexuals and politicians who, under the cover of "civil rights", are increasingly erasing the need for biological mothers. Let us pray that through the eyes of God, Christian mothers will see the link between legalizing homosexual marriage and undermining the need to celebrate motherhood by God's design.

There are many biblical reasons why I weep over the push for legalized "gay marriage". One reason is that I desire every woman to cherish her sacred calling to be Eve, "the mother of all living" (Genesis 3:20). The day we dismiss that will mark the beginning of a thousand deaths for many sectors of modern society.

And now, to every woman who is a godly mother, who still believes that motherhood must remain the fertile soil where the seed of the human race is sown and grown, to you I say, May God and the people of God stand firm with you, and may we all have the courage to fight for Motherhood, the womb of the human race.


Happy Mother's Day!
