Members of the North Carolina General Assembly introduced a bill on Tuesday, citing the 10th Amendment, which affirms that the U.S. Supreme Court exceeded its authority under the Constitution and in relation to the decree of Almighty God by legalizing same-sex marriage, and contends that the Obergefell v. Hodges decision is null and void in North Carolina and that the Tar Heel state shall only recognize marriages between one man and one woman.
The legislation explains that North Carolina seeks to follow the 2012 law that was established in Section 6 of Article XIV of the North Carolina Constitution, which defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. The new bill would also affirm that same gender marriages performed in other staes are not valid in North Carolina.
The legislation, H.B. 780, the Uphold Historical Marriage Act, was sponsored by N.C. House members Larry Pittman (R-Cabarrus), Michael Speciale (R-Beaufort), and Carl Ford (R-Rown). The bill states it is an act to affirm that Section 6 of Article XIV of the North Carolina Constitution is the law of the state.

States rights.
The people should have the power to govern themselves, not nine unelected progressive jurists.
Now we’re talking. The repudiation of Sodomite whatever posing as marriage, and putting an end to abortion should be a much higher priority than other things. God will not preserve the Republic if we are not right with Him
Will the Democrat governor sign this if passed by the legislature?
May God Bless the Congresspersons moving this bill. . . and we pray for North Carolina to keep taking a stand for righteousness. . . .it exalts a state!
[”null and void in North Carolina ]
I had no idea he moved!
Nonetheless, good for the authors of this bill!!
AMEN!
Push back on this is important.
It really opened Pandora’s box IMO.
This move to allow marriage between any two entities or more, can’t end well.
Go back to the gold standard and be done with it.
I don’t care about the Sodomite as a religious issue. I’m concerned with my own soul first.
God cares about it though
Then it’s Gods to take care of.
which He does through His people often- more times than not
Homosexual marriage is a sham marriage. It is is a marriage of convenience entered into purely for the purpose of gaining a benefit or other advantage arising from that status. To say it is no different from heterosexual marriage is part of the sham used to elevate their actions. Heterosexuals do not marry for the purpose of gaining a benefit. They marry to fulfill God’s plan which is to provide men and women with a means to demonstrate their love for God. It is a selfless act not designed for benefit but for sacrifice out of love.
In 44 years, no Catholic bishop has told Catholic politicians that it is their DUTY to nullify the USSC’s abortion decisions in precisely this way.
If the NC legislature votes through the legislation the republicans have a veto proof majority. Governor’s action would not matter, if legislation on this matter is voted through
This will really upset the NCAA...
Judges of all sorts have been making laws they have no power to do. They are to interpret our laws only
