Openly gay Milk writer, Dustin Lance Black, has been announced as the recipient of the un-snappily titled Lew and Pamela Hunter/Jonathan and Janice Zakin chair holder in screenwriting Award, which is given by top film school UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television.
The writer and activist will receive the honour on April 30th at UCLA’s James Bridges Theater. It required him to have taught a 10-week course in screenwriting, which he completed at the school last autumn.
Black won an Oscar for writing Milk, and is also behind the screenplays for J. Edgar and the upcoming remake of Earthquake. He won a WGA Award for his work on the TV series Big Love (his Mormon background obviously helped him with the TV series). He’s also been very active in the fight for marriage equality, including writing the play 8, about the fight against a measure that sought the ban same sex marriage in California, which got a star-studded reading last year and may become a movie.
It’s a bit of a homecoming for the writer, as he attended UCLA and graduated from the School of Theater, Film and Television in 1996. (Source: Variety)
Same-sex marriage disregards the natural order of procreatory responsibility, not only confusing the natural disposition of parental authority; but undermining the legal principle that children have a right to a relationship with their biological parents, depriving a child access to their biological parent’s genetic, cultural and social heritage, not for extraordinary circumstances, but as a matter of routine. Same-sex marriage amounts to institutionalized adultery through a hostile takeover of civil society by the State. Children will no longer be entitled to their biological parents, as the transitory wants of same-sex adults will have taken precedence over a child’s best interest.
Children are not pets one purchases from rescue shelters(adoption clinics) and puppy mills(insemination and surrogacy). Children are human beings endowed with a natural desire to be procreated from an engendered act of love between a husband and a wife. Same-sex marriage is adulterous by nature and thereby destructive to not only children, but to our civilization.
Here are two truths regarding marriage: (1) A man creating a family with another man is not equal to creating a family with a woman, and (2) denying children parents of both genders at home is an objective evil. Kids need and yearn for both.
Same-sex marriage proponents demand “Marriage Equality”, yet, in return, they offer less-than-equal protection of the child’s happiness than can be afforded through the presence of both biological parents.
Same-sex proponents profess that it is love which gives the right to join the institution of marriage, yet, in doing so, they selfishly violate the principle loving objective of this noble institution; to protect a child’s Natural Right to be raised by both biological parents.
Same-sex marriage is not justice in the eyes of a child. Same-sex marriage is an abuse of power, a tyrannical subversion of the fundamental principles of marriage and the duties which it enjoins; contrary to the nature and state of man, same-sex marriage is merely the unwarranted whims of an ignorant and selfish generation whose conduct is nothing less that an embarrassment to the dignity of mankind.
In fine, same-sex marriage is an unnatural extravagance which the supporters most ignorantly claim to be a “right”.
“No one has a right to do that which, if everybody did it, would destroy society.” —Immanuel Kant
