Los Angeles - Emphasizing the urgency of California’s Proposition 8--ProtectMarriage.com, today the Connecticut Supreme Court legalized gay marriage by a narrow margin, 4-3. Close votes also defined gay marriage in the states of Massachusetts and California. The State of Iowa was also scheduled this week to hear arguments on same sex marriage.

In answer to today’s decision, the Protect Marriage Coalition and its volunteers are stepping up efforts and continuing their unprecedented grassroots campaign across the state of California. This weekend hundreds of thousands of lawn signs will appear on lawns in every community. Church services in some African American ministries will cut their meetings short to allow their members to get out into neighborhoods and post signs. The Protect Marriage campaign is sending its message out on radio and television stations throughout the state and informing voters about the profound consequences Californians will face if traditional marriage laws are not restored.

Two Los Angeles ministers who have been strong advocates for Proposition 8 Protect Marriage spoke out today on Connecticut’s court decision.

Pastor Dudley Rutherford of Shepherd of the Hills Church in Los Angeles:

“What’s happening in Connecticut in other parts of the U.S. is a travesty and a tragedy for our young people and future generations. What happens in California sweeps across the country. On November 4th when we make this stand, the country will know that Californians stand for marriage as it has been known through all generations,” said Reverend Dudley Rutherford.

Pastor Ed Smith of Zoe Christian Fellowship Church, a predominantly African American congregation, of Whittier:

“I am very disappointed in what I heard today with Connecticut legalizing gay marriage. Our crisis in our government as well as in our economic system is a result of a moral failure and that is why now more than ever we need Proposition 8 and the strength of marriage, families and protections for children.”

Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell, responding to the decision, said today that she personally disagreed with the court.

“I do not believe their voice reflects the majority of the people of Connecticut.”

Prop. 8 Bump! Marriage is too important to leave in the hands of liberal activist judges. It MUST be protected in the state constitution.

Try to imagine what a U.S. Supreme Court, packed by a President Obama and approve by a Democrat-majority Congress, would do.

[goldstategop]

Yep. It would strike down every marriage protection amendment in the country. That's why we have to keep Obama far way from the White House.

Sex between a man and a possum?

Bestiality is coming next. Peter Singer has no moral objections to people congressing with the beasts.

Is Singer also the one who said parents should have a post-birth abortion right for up to one year?

[goldstategop]

Singer did endorse infanticide. What's coming down the pike is but a glimpse of what's in store if America becomes a post-Christian nation.

if you use the arguments of the homo lawyers then every other weirdo marriage can be legalized.

men marrying animals
mothers marrying their daughters

this is just plain stupid and the people of this country had better wake up before it’s too late.

What about "Talk Radio is unconstitutional", "Anyone opposing the government shall be re-educated," "Presidential elections shall be held on an ad hoc basis, subject to the authority of Congress and/or the President."

So, if Obama wins, does that mean that Prop 8 doesn't matter? I hope not.

It all goes to show that what they cannot do it via legislation - they do via the courts. And the SCOTUS in 2010 might just be ready to establish homosexual marriage, and other types of "marriage", as the law of the land. Barf!

“I do not believe their voice reflects the majority of the people of Connecticut.”

Jodi, they don't get a "voice". They interpret the law and uphold the constitution of the state of Ct. The Ct Consitution is silent on homosexual marriage, ergo the court is ajust another rogue court.
