WASHINGTON—Reports continue to pour in from around the nation today of helpless Americans being forcibly taken from their marital unions after President Obama dropped the Defense of Marriage Act earlier this week, leaving the institution completely vulnerable to roving bands of homosexuals. “It was just awful—they smashed through our living room window, one of them said ‘I’ve had my eye on you, Roger,’ and then they dragged my husband off kicking and screaming,” said Cleveland-area homemaker Rita Ellington, one of the latest victims whose defenseless marriage was overrun by the hordes of battle-ready gays that had been clambering at the gates of matrimony since the DOMA went into effect in 1996. “Oh dear God, why did they remove the protection provided by this vital piece of legislation? My children! What will I tell my children?” A video communique was sent to the media late yesterday from what appears to be the as-yet unidentified leader of the gay marauders, who, adorned in terrifying warpaint, announced “Richard Dickson of Ames, Iowa. We’re coming for you next. Put on something nice.

OH NOES! My marriage is in danger from the hordes of roving battle-ready gay people adorned in terrifying warpaint!!!1!

President Barack Obama has ordered the Justice Department to stop defending the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as only between a man and woman, according to a Justice Department statement Wednesday.

Thanks be to God!  I am reminded of this beautiful(*) song from Isaiah, quoted by Jesus when he spoke in the synagogue in his hometown of Nazareth.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
because he has anointed me
to speak good news to the poor,
recovery of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord!

(*) The song is beautiful; this implies nothing whatsoever about the rendition or the singer.(**)
