You can make gay Christmas ornaments, but that still doesn't change God's law

An artist from California, the land of fruits and nuts, is selling Christmas tree ornaments featuring two Josephs or two Marys to make a statement on homosexual equivalency. It is unclear why they hijacked a sacred Christian story to make their point.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) -- Christianity is pretty clear on homosexuality. It's forbidden. Marriage, as established by God and presently affirmed by the Church, is between one man and one woman. This ends the discussion because none can reverse the judgment of an all-wise and powerful creator. Nonetheless, protests abound and this year's latest battleground is a Christmas tree.
An artist in California has created a Christmas ornament that features either two Josephs or two Marys.
In the image printed on the ornament, a pair of same-sex porcelain dolls are kneeling before baby Jesus lying in straw. The ornaments have been designed by Mark Thaler, who owns "Pride and More."
The goal, of course, is not to honor Christ, but to honor their perverted opinion of marriage. It is an effort to lend an air of legitimacy to same-sex marriage by suggesting Christ could have been parented by a same-sex couple.
God in his wisdom did not ordain this. We all know Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary who was married to Joseph. At no time in history has God sanctioned same-sex unions.
The ornaments are bound to be inflammatory, but this is how the homosexual equivalency movement operates. First, they disrupt a cultural norm, then they shut down protests, and as protests die, they claim legitimacy.
Gay marriage may be recognized among men, the product of imperial decree, but nothing can change God's laws, especially not Christmas ornaments.
