Victory in Georgia! Attempts to do away with a constitutional amendment approved by 76% of the people have been brought to an end. Georgia’s State Supreme Court ruled that the amendment is legal and can remain in place. It was a unanimous decision, which was really good to see.
OPINION SUMMARY - July 6, 2006 - MARRIAGE AMENDMENT: - Perdue v. O?Kelley et al., S06A1574
|
It is especially good to see that Justice Robert Benham wrote the decision for the court. Since he was one who I took issue with in a prior related legal challenge, when the amendment was going on the ballot.
This means gays in Georgia won’t be allowed to call themselves “married”, there will be no “civil unions” or any other tricky names where gays attempt to have the state give their sinful life special sanction. They have no more rights than a male/female couple living together in fornication. Once those gays wish to find a member of the opposite sex to have a ceremony with and give up on a non-productive lifestyle choice, then they can be called “married”.
Finally the “Bible Belt” is holding true to its calling.
The people moved to change the state’s constitution and the voice of the people has been upheld!
Also in New York, that state’s Supreme Court ruled in a 4-2 decision that the state does not have to recognize gays that want to call themselves “married”.
We hold that the New York Constitution does not compel recognition of marriages between members of the same sex. Whether such marriages should be recognized is a question to be addressed by the Legislature.”
OK Pro-Gay Lobby. You started this mess. And now your faces are being pressed in the mud for it! You can keep it up and continue stirring a tempest that you cannot defeat, which is the will of the people standing on the truth of Almighty God. Or give up, consider accepting Jesus into your hearts and turning from sin that leads you astray.

This is not a matter of government enforcing religion, but the people enforcing what has been found to be the most sound method for social order.

and the two shall become one flesh?; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Amen. But we have to be on the defensive. Even if they can’t convince the current voting public or the cours, though, they are going to keep trying to get the “hearts and minds” of of the next generation of kids by disguising a pro-gay agenda as “tolerance” in schools’ curriculums. And they will get friendly support from the liberal media and, of course, Hollywood.
Still, this was a victory — even though this appeal should never have gone this far.

Oops, courts, not cours. I still can’t see 10-20% of your comment screen on my PC - thus the typos.
