WASHINGTON, D.C. – The idea of a law to ensure that same-sex and mixed-sex couples have a right to obtain a marriage license is gaining momentum.

U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) is one of several Republicans who on Wednesday voiced possible support for a bill passed Tuesday with bipartisan support in the House that would codify those rights.

Why in the hell is the federal government (even) involved in the sacred institution of marriage. It’s a states issue at most and more likely a personal issue between me,God and my wife!

Spelling ‘Tom’ as ‘Thom’ is dead giveaway.

Why is the federal government deciding to be in the marriage business in this way to begin with?

And I had just commented on another thread and this was the next thread I saw.

This descent into Sodom and Gomorrah is reminiscent of Isaiah 3:9 and Romans chapter 1.

This open rebellion, flying in the face of God, invites judgment on the nation; indeed all nations heading down this path.

The mockers will mock and laugh.

Just as Luke 17:26-32 predicts.

The godless have no proper fear of Almighty God in their eyes.

What’s next? A federal law granting the right to marry dogs, cats, or goats?

Richard Burr is the Senator that’s retiring. Tillis was just reelected in 2020.

No. That Richard Burr. Just as bad. Tillis is with us for a long time yet.

Tillis is an Ultra RINO. And a disgrace to the State of North Carolina. Don’t bother writing or calling his office. He works for the Ruling Class. As for the People, they can eat cake.

It wasn’t too long ago, ... in the run-up to the unconstitutional imposition of homo-marriage ... that numerous states were preparing state constitutional amendments to define marriage as between one man and one woman. The left made political hay about this - vociferously opposing such efforts.

My how times have changed. Nice that the left is in a panic sees that all their decades of destroying institutions and substituted by their crap does not make their homo-institutions so sacred... that they have to scramble to try to protect it.

Tillis helped craft a marriage amendment to the NC constitution which handily passed and was enshrined in our law until the SCOTUS managed to sweep away our will in one [Oberk]fell swoop.

Now this.

Even though it is ridiculous on its face, he is “considering” going alone with it anyway.

Just say NO, Thom.

Yes he is. What a disappointment he and Burr have been to NC. I firmly believe the 16th, and 17th amendments should be repealed. Put this country back on a solid constitutional basis with the states having their rights restored.

mixed-sex couples

A what?

I'm sorry, Senator. You'll have to be vaguer and more inclusive.

And their payday is quickly coming up.
The people who continue to double down in this evil won’t be able to find a bank to cash their checks either.

This country is under Judgment

We MUST STOP re-electing Bush League Republicans.

They are nothing more than Assistant Democrats.
