Prominent homosexual Republicans pushed GOP senators to pass Democrats’ same-sex ‘marriage’ bill

t has come to light that the 12 Republican senators who threw their support behind the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” (RMA) were swayed by cash and political clout wielded by a group of prominent donors, several of whom identify as “gay.”

At least ten GOP senators were needed to join Senate Democrats to reach the required 60-vote threshold for passage of the bill, which mandates that all 50 states must recognize same-sex “marriages,” even in the event that the Supreme Court overturns its 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision.

Behind the scenes, a group of influential Republican donors and operatives, including some of the party’s most prominent gay leaders with long experience prodding their party to embrace L.G.B.T.Q. rights, banded together with the bill’s proponents in Congress for a coordinated, $1.7 million campaign to persuade G.O.P. senators that backing it would give them a political edge.

Their quiet work helps explain how a bill to ensure recognition of same-sex marriages across the country went from being the subject of an election-season political maneuver that few expected to be enacted to an initiative embraced by a decisive majority of senators, and an unexpected victory for the gay rights movement that will be one of the final acts of the Democratic-controlled Congress.

Homosexual Republican groups were quick to praise the behind-the-scenes work to enshrine same-sex “marriage” in U.S. law:

“Today’s victory was a result of outstanding work from many prominent conservatives, ongoing constituent efforts, and critical polling that proved the growing conservative support for same-sex marriage,” tweeted Conservatives Against Discrimination, a group which promotes homosexual ideology.

“Gay Republicans helped pass marriage equality,” declared Georgia Log Cabin, one of many state and local chapters of Log Cabin Republicans, comprised primarily of “LGBTQ+” members.

Among those behind the effort to make Republican senators complicit in the passage of the RMA were Ken Mehlman, President George W. Bush’s 2004 campaign manager and a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, a homosexual man who has long lobbied Republicans to support same-sex “marriage”; Reginald Brown, a lawyer who had worked in the George W. Bush’s Administration; and James Dozier, president of the board of Centerline Action, who is “married” to a man.

Centerline Action helped commission polling in nine states where Republican senators had been identified “who could be persuaded to support the Respect for Marriage Act but who were publicly undecided: Alaska, Missouri, West Virginia, Iowa, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Indiana, Utah and Wyoming,” according to the Times.

Polling has repeatedly found broad disapproval of the RMA among Republican voters.

Former Republican congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a longtime cheerleader for genderless marriage, took a victory lap in an NPR interview following the Senate’s passing of the bill.

“We had a quiet campaign to try to get folks online,” said Ros-Lehtinen, who co-chairs Conservatives Against Discrimination. “It’s a historic moment,” declared the former congresswoman.

Ros-Lehtinen, whose son is a transgender LGBTQ advocate, announced during the NPR interview that trans issues are the next goal. “We’ve got to understand that not everyone who is born in a certain gender is still identifying with that gender,” she asserted.

Katy Faust, Founder of Them Before Us, an organization dedicated to putting the rights of children over the desires of adults, has called attention to the adult-centric, child-endangering ramifications of the RMA, casting a harsh light on the flawed logic of the bill’s supporters.

“Marriage has long been the most child friendly institution in the world has ever known, because it unites the two people to whom children have a natural right – their mother and father,” Faust told LifeSiteNews.

“Gay ‘marriage’ works in reverse by separating children from at least one person to whom they have a natural right,” explained Faust. “The redefinition of marriage has transformed this child-centric institution into just one more vehicle of adult fulfillment.”

“Now we see that not only are children being sacrificed on the altar of adult fulfillment, but they are being used as pawns so GOP senators can be ‘political winners,’ given a ‘political edge,’ and be offered a ‘sense of comfort’ by legislatively cementing the loss of a child’s mother or father. Is there any party willing to defend children’s rights?”

“According to [both houses’ vote to pass] the Respect for Marriage Act, the answer is clearly ‘No,’” said Faust.

Yeah that verse gets cut off and twisted out of context by the reprobates all the time

Some folks are fairly clueless as to what the bible says about homosexuality.

They probably don't realize that the S&G judgement happened even BEFORE the Ten Commandments were handed down.

We are living in a Genesis 19:9 world...

"Get out of our way,” they replied.
“This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge!
We’ll treat you worse than them.”
They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.

They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;

they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.

Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.

They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50 "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:

She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

They were haughty and did detestable things before me.

Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

Romans 1 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)

18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

What kind of a people are we;

that we allow men dressed in womens clothes

to pervert the minds of little children?

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
