There’s no wavering from Indiana Rep. Tim Wesco, a strong proponent of traditional marriage.

He lobbied for the proposed state constitutional amendment, House Joint Resolution 3 (HJR-3), to define marriage in Indiana as a heterosexual union. And following the U.S. Supreme Court decision that paved the way for same-sex marriage here, he isn’t backtracking in his views.

In fact, he’s warning that the move could potentially create an in for legalized polygamy.

“I personally can never change my view on that,” said Wesco, a Republican from Osceola who represents District 21, which covers much of western and southern Elkhart. “I’m solid that marriage is between a man and a woman.”(continued)

I hope he’s prepared to see various colleagues fold like lawn chairs and denounce him as a bigot.

In his statement, Long noted the federal decision was based on the U.S. Constitution

Where? Next to Article VII, Clause III that authorizes a right to kill unborn children and engage in sodomy?

Thank you for referencing that article 2ndDivisionVet. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

It’s too bad that Rep Wesco evidently doesn’t know enough about 10th Amendment-protected state powers to argue that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay “rights.”

Already happening.

I have noticed gay “marriage” advocates opposing polygamy which I find hillariously hypocritical.

when your ahead in Indiana in the last month, stop responding to questions about bedroom issues.

I did not stop at the walbash, sorry Chris. I got the hell out.

This guy is right. And after that, it will get worse, with deranged people trying to normalize pedophilia by defining deviancy down.

Totally hypocritical. They changed the definition of marriage, but now don't want polygamy.

[The Great RJ]

Poligamy will be legalized in less than 5 years with the decision of an unelected federal judge. The people’s wishes at the ballot box or through state legislatures be damned.
