The American gay marriage agenda moves forward, one state and one judge at a time. The newest states to see the legalization of gay marriage are Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, Kansas and South Carolina, where federal judges struck down preexisting laws banning gay unions in those states.
The decisions are at least temporary blows to efforts of those who support the traditional, biblical definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman. It's a serious moral issue the entire country is facing.
The Associated Press reports that representatives from states fighting the judicial legalization of gay marriage promise that they are not done working against federal court rulings:
"Montana, Kansas and South Carolina have continued their legal fight against gay marriage despite rulings in favor of the practice from federal appeals courts that oversee them. In South Carolina, Republican Attorney General Alan Wilson said he would fight to uphold the state's constitutional ban even though the U.S. Supreme Court . . .
denied his emergency request to block gay marriages being performed there" (Matthew Brown and Lisa Baumann, "Gay Couples Exchange Vows in Montana After Ruling," Nov. 20, 2014).
While many people, even a majority in some states, support the defense of the biblical definition of marriage, Gallup polls reveal that 55 percent of the U.S. population supports the legalization of gay marriage (Justin McCarthy, "Same-Sex Marriage Support Reaches New High at 55%," May 21, 2014). A nation that chooses to disobey God will reap the consequences of its decisions. Take some time and read through Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 to understand the chilling reality of what our choices will bring to pass. (Sources: Associated Press, Gallup.)
