REP. JO JORDAN (D)

Jordan's chief reason for opposing the legislation, Senate Bill 1, was that she believed the measure did not adequately protect religious liberty...

A sincere hat tip. BTT

[Izzy Dunne]

Kudos to someone for the ability to see beyond their own crotch.

Izzy, Izzy..for shame....

RE: She believed the measure did not adequately protect religious liberty

She’s right. If gays can sue bakers and photographers who refuse to service gay marriages because this is against their religious beliefs, then there is no religious protection at all.

I imagine much more of the LGBT community would find that they would have more genuine respect, despite whatever personal disagreements people had with them, if they even attempted to follow examples like these and not resort to state and above all federal backed strong arming. The rest of that community better be ready fro some severe backlash when they start to feel empowered enough to try and have their weddings in churches by force, presuming it hasn’t already happened int he US like ti has in the UK.

"The purpose of marriage, why the state supports opposite-sex coupling having children, is because that is where the next generation of hopefully civilized adults obedient taxpayers are raised."

Fixed it.

These people had better watch out for what they wish. They’ll get it full bore...divorce courts and the whole deal.

I have to agree with you! A large part of my own dislike/distaste for all of the LGBT legislative efforts is their intolerance of others! That is exactly the thing THEY gripe about too! Having a religious conviction against something is NOT being a racist or a bigot - it is following your religious conscience!

There were fascinating photos of massive demonstrations to protest homosexual marriage by people of all ethnicities at the Hawaii state capitol last week. Even though Hawaii is one of the most democrat states, voters there have consistently voted down initiatives to legalize same-sex marriage. They resent having this thing rammed down their throats (so to speak). This could get politically interesting.

Representative Jo Jordan...

Why is it you can always tell by the name?

Unfortunately, marriage redefinition only ratchets one way. Once marriage is redefined into unimaginable forms, it is there to stay, even if Hawaiians elect a 100% conservative government next election.

California proved that.

Guilty of having her own opinion instead of going along with GroupThink.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, she seems to be more realistic than most in realpolitik. The good thing is that she sees faith as a power to be reckoned with. Maybe some day faith will save her from lesbianism too.

[Repeat Offender]

Borrowing from another FReeper......if two lesbians decide to end their “marriage” and get a “divorce,” how the judge know to screw over?

[RginTN]

Rep. Jordan gets it! Kudos to her.

Now if only Republicans supporting gay “marriage” would also understand the threat gay “marriage” is towards the 1st amendment

[Gene Eric]

Well, this indeed speaks to the problem of govts sanctioning homosexual behavior — it forces the citizens to support and service the behavior. That ain’t right.

[CountryClassSF]

She is currently being trashed on Twitter by the gay gestapo. Disgusting. “Celebrate diversity” but heaven forbid she have a different opinion.

There IS no tolerance among them. Zero.
