The headline is giving me a mental picture that I don’t really want to see.
Evil is running deep and wide across the land.
It’s just easier for these people to give in, to turn away from what they know is right, and join the ever-growing crowd of queer-praisers. Approval from mankind is what they value most.
What a gutless, cowering, pervert-enabler.
Unnngh!
It’s not just a regional problem. America is in rapid moral and cultural disintegration everywhere, embracing degeneracy and evil across the board.
Is he a Democrat?
Chances of having this scumsucker recalled?
the cancer of liberalism is metastisizing.
As mentioned in related threads, the Founding States had made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitution's silence about things like marriage means that such issues are state power issues, the feds having only the power to regulate the effect of one state's marriage in another state via the Constitution's Full Faith and Credit Clause, Section 1 of Article IV.
In fact, note that regardless that activist judges and the corrupt media want everybody to think that the Supreme Court repealed DOMA, Section 2 of DOMA, based on Congress's Section 1 power referenced above, is evidently still in effect.
DOMA, Section 2: Powers reserved to the statesNo State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship.
Also note that the Constitution's silence about gay marriage means that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay rights. So the states are free to make laws which discriminate against gay agenda issues, as long as such laws do not unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
Not surprising, he is as liberal as they come.
Because some people in government are now hostile to marriage as God defined it, in order to protect godly marriage we must remove the power of the State to define and regulate marriage. Then anyone will be perfectly free to enter into whatever relationship they want. However, they will not be able to call upon the police power of the state to force me to recognize a “marriage” that I know is theologically illegitimate and morally repugnant.
If we remove government from marriage and return it to the private sphere where it came from, lesbians can still marry
each other, but they won’t be able to use government to force me to sell them wedding cake or artfully photograph their “marriage”. They will be free to do as they please without being able to coerce anyone else about their private
affair.
The Southern Baptist Convention has its HQ in Nashville. Doesn't the UMC have some sort of national presence in Nashville also?
It’s all about the entertainment industry.
Let’s hope that good Tennesseeans will show their disapproval by making this term his last.
Of course, Nashville is to Tennessee as Austin is to Texas, a pocket of putrid liberalism. Maybe they like this Mayor.
Is TN part of the “Deep” South?
Anyway, this a major urban center (almost of them lean liberal and rat) and he’s a stalinist democrat. There is absolutely no reason this should surprise you.
When it’s at the point we have a mainstream Republican Senator (Portman) who is pimping it, it’s not even news that a rat mayor is pimping it, whatever part of the country his city is in.
