New York Begins to Alter Policy on Gay Marriage

New York Begins to Alter Policy on Gay Marriage

Here's another step in the wrong direction and this one is not even based on legislation by the people's representatives!

 

I agree with that but also think the citizens of other states had better pay attention to what's happening and make their own stand rock solid because these actions by other states will eventually increase the pressure on others.

 

Be sure to take note that this is an executive action and not legislative action so it doesn't even necessarily reflect the will of the people of New York.

The next argument from the homosexals will be that homo "marriages" consumated in states that approve of it have to be accepted in states that don't.

 

What's to keep a President from doing like the Governor of New York?

 

But only if it's challenged and decided favorably in the Supreme Court. How confident can we be in that decision if the same President gets to appoint a few more members of the court?

 

So then I conclude that electing Representatives, Senators, Governors, and Presidents that support God's prohibition against homosexuality - most certainly homosexual "marriage" - and are willing to incorporate it into our laws is essential for the proper outcome.

 

[SIZE=+1]The institution of marriage is not just a private matter. It is a public matter because the husband and wife are recognized by the people through their government as having entered into an agreement with certain rights and certain obligations enforceable by law. If there is no right to regulate this joining together and to specify the legal rights and obligations therein then there is also no right to regulate it's undoing. There is then no legal recourse for the issue of such marriages to their rightful support. There is perhaps no path to clear resolution of property ownership and contract liability. There is then no standard against which to measure marriage because it can be defined by any one in any way they might desire.

[/SIZE]It is impossible now to limit the matter to the states because the federal constitution requires that states respect the "public acts, records, and judicial rulings" of other states. The next step will be a court ruling that marriage licenses of a given state - regardless of requirements - have to be respected in every other state just like driver licenses are. If that happens then we'll end up with an argument that homosexual applicants within a given state should not be denied the right to marry in that state given on the basis that the same state has then permitted others married elsewhere to live as husband and wife in the applicants' state. The ultimate result will be universal legalization of homosexual "marriage" in all states whether or not the citizens want it or whether or not their state constitution forbids it. It will be decided in the courts - not by the people through their representatives. The stage is already set for it!
