A huge shift in Texas just happened, and the constitution made it possible

Just so it's clear, this is not about me wanting this to happen.
This is agenda news, and it can't be stopped, regardless of beliefs.

Texas gay marriage ban struck down

Marriage equality has officially infiltrated the deep South.

Texas moved to join 17 states and the District of Columbia on Wednesday in allowing gay couples to legally wed, after a federal judge struck down the state’s nine-year-old amendment banning same-sex nuptials. U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia, an appointee of President Clinton, issued a preliminary injunction on the ban, then suspended his ruling, meaning gay couples won’t be able to marry in the Lone Star State until the case is heard by a higher court.

In a 48-page opinion, Garcia found the state’s 2005 voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage violated the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee to equal protection under the 14th Amendment. He is the sixth federal judge to strike down all or part of a state ban on same-sex marriage since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the federal Defense of Marriage Act last June, and the first to do so in the deep South.

“Without a rational relation to a legitimate governmental purpose, state-imposed inequality can find no refuge in our United States Constitution,” Garcia wrote. “These Texas laws deny plaintiffs access to the institution of marriage and its numerous rights, privileges, and responsibilities for the sole reason that Plaintiffs wish to be married to a person of the same sex.”

The case was filed last fall on behalf of two same-sex couples – Victor Holmes and Mark Phariss, who have been together for 17 years; and Cleopatra De Leon and Nicole Dimetman, who were legally married five years ago in Massachusetts, but want Texas to recognize their union.

14TH AMENDMENT

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The Constitution was written in such a way, as to not allow religious reasoning to create laws.


Something interesting my wife pointed out once:


    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

How can we allow Buddhists to worship here, and then say we're a "Christian Nation"?
We can't have it both ways.

If that had said:

    Congress shall make no law allowing the worship of anyone other than the God of Israel, Jesus Christ, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

For crying out loud, it was written by Freemasons.

"But, but...the gays hurt the idea of the family."

Are you a Christian, or a Babylonian?

Matthew 15:11
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

===============================================

Them, the homosexuals, having fruity sex has nothing to do with me, you or your family/children.

You've taught them the Way of the Lord to the best of the ability God gave you, you have nothing to worry about.

What I find fascinating about the generic christian world is their sincerity is wrapped in hypocrisy.

When a star football player is out sleeping with any young lady ready and willing, (and a lot of case not willing) he is applauded.

Fornication is sin, and the penalty would be death, in physical Israel.

That's just one example.
If we apply judgement on one law, we'd have to start all over and clean some stuff up.

This is Babylon, and Texas is in Babylon, plain and simple.
