"I say this regularly, but it continues to amaze how rapidly we went from 'look, what does it affect your life if two consenting adults want to…?'"
After gay marriage was legalized, a commenter on Steve Sailer's blog prophetically warned that gay marriage was the starting line, not the finish line. Absolutely true.
It's patently obvious now that the finish line, or the very bottom of the slippery slope we're tumbling down, is sex with children. They are nibbling away at parental rights, first by trying to allow children to decide for themselves whether they receive the covid vaccine, and now with allowing confused kids to be chemically/surgically castrated.
They will point to ancient Greece as a template for it, describing these abusive relationships as "mentorships" or some other evil nonsense.
How did the West become such a cesspool of degeneracy?
Liberalism has no room for ecumenism. That's going to lead them into fratricide—maybe murder/suicide is more accurate. Their prospects for an enlightened self-interest do not look at all promising.
Sure, the whole "Mastadon" affair... among many others, showed pretty clearly that if you actually did manage to get rid of all the conservatives, the progressives turn on each other. Progressivism cannot function without a (human) enemy.
Was Proverbs 15 and 16 your daily reading before writing this post? "There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, 'Enough!': the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water, and fire, which never says, 'Enough!'"
I do not have the confidence you do that the church would've pushed back if told, Whitmer and then DHHS and then the Ingham County health department all agree that we can best care for each other by masking, vaxxing, and avoiding people the next two cold seasons, after a short reprieve the summers of 2020 and 2021.
The Christian guardrails in society mitigated that unending lust of dissipation, but I guess it was too much work to maintain them. We thought it easier and wiser to woo speeding drivers with smiles and good driving.

Found Sai Medi interesting yesterday:
"Perhaps Christina Metz’ Genre theory applies to cultures, institutions and nation states as well.
1. Experimental stage
2. Classic stage (the golden era)
3. Parody stage (the meta era)
4. Deconstruction"

Possibly of interest, Canadian theologian Douglas Farrow indicting the Church for how it responded:

Well said!! Unfortunately, our society today only values free thought and expression when it's devoted to further decay of morality and common sense.
As usual, very well said.
The link between transgenderism and homelessness is real, but it isn't accidental and it isn't parents:
