Republican Senator Claims ‘Survival’ of US Depends on Codifying Same-Sex ‘Marriage’

Country cannot survive unless people who cannot naturally create children are given same protections as heterosexual couples, US senator opines.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – A self-described “Christian” and “conservative” senator said that Congress needs to pass a federal law enshrining a right to same-sex “marriage” in order for the United States to have a chance at “survival.”

Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis joined on Tuesday with 11 other Republicans and all of the Democrats except Georgia’s Raphael Warnock, who is campaigning for re-election, to pass the “Respect for Marriage Act,” which would require the federal government to recognize any partnership called a “marriage” by a state, even incestuous ones.

Lummis explained that her vote would help the country survive.

She stated:

These are turbulent times for our nation.

Americans address each other in more crude and cruel terms than ever in my lifetime. It is jarring and unbecoming of us as human beings. It is highly intolerant and frequently the most so when expressed by those who advocate for tolerance. Many of us ask ourselves, ‘Our nation is so divided. When will this end? And how will it end?

For the sake of our nation today and its survival, we do well by taking this step, not embracing or validating each other’s devoutly held views, but by the simple act of tolerating them.

The legislation will likely allow activists and attorneys to target Jewish, Christian, and Muslim institutions that refuse to conduct same-sex “marriages,” throwing into question how much “tolerance” this law will engender.

A Wyoming Republican senator throwing us under the bus? It just proves that this is a rigged game that simply can’t be won. We have the reddest of red states’ politicians stabbing us in the back. We can’t win even if we elect Republicans in red states.

Not according to Fox New's coverage:

"An amendment by Collins, R-Maine, and Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., was adopted Monday evening aimed at making sure the bill does not undermine religious liberty and that nonprofit religious organizations "shall not be required to provide services" to a marriage it opposes.

By now it should be clear as to why the Bolsheviks wanted women to vote and run for office (in the West, that is).

What gets done in a lame duck session of Congress. It will require an Article V Convention of the States to end this absurdity. Nothing good comes from the lame duck sessions. Nothing.

I cannot trust any religious liberty amendment lesbian Tammy Baldwin proposes.

This lefty should put the “D” next to her name, now, to avoid any further misunderstanding of her position.

“For the sake of our nation today and its survival...”

Woman PLEASE!
