In the national "gay marriage" battle, the state legislatures in Oklahoma, Texas, and South Carolina are now taking active steps to fight back. Legislators in all three states have filed bills to defund and prohibit any creation or recognition of "gay marriages" by the government, no matter what the federal courts may decide.
And it's not standing still. The bill in Oklahoma was passed in committee this past week and is on its way to the House floor! Plus, other states (such as Utah) are possibly in the wings to follow. Among other things, this could rekindle a constitutional battle that goes back to the founding of America.
The "gay marriage" juggernaut
In just the past two years we've all watched in horror as liberal activist federal judges have arrogantly "struck down" laws and constitutional amendments upholding real marriage in 23 states around the country. Some of these amendments were passed by an 80% margin.
Although the US Supreme Court has announced it will be ruling on "gay marriage" this summer, it's completely unpredictable what will happen. Many people rightly fear that the political momentum toward this madness – even among "good" Supreme Court judges" – is out of control. Will they rule (against all reason) that "gay marriage" is a protected right across America? They just might.
The recent legal attempts by Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore to stop "gay marriage" in that state, though "overruled" by a federal judge" was a bold stand that inspired a lot of people, adding to the momentum of this fight!
Cutting off state funds . . . the power of the purse!
