GOP’s Tillis Expects Senate Passage of Marriage Equality Bill

[Guno צְבִי]

Senator Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, said he expects there will be enough support from his party to pass a marriage equality bill this month.


The legislative push to codify same-sex marriages comes after Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas suggested the high court reconsider the decision establishing a marriage right. Polling shows adult Americans strongly favor marriage equality, potentially giving Democrats a wedge issue if Republicans block the measure.

Senator Tammy Baldwin, a Wisconsin Democrat, and Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine are leading the talks, which now center on an amendment addressing religious liberties. Tillis said he and some of his GOP colleagues are generally supportive of what’s currently being discussed.

“We’ve made progress with the drafting,” he added. “I think we’ve addressed a lot of the religious freedom questions that some had and we think we’re going to move it this month.”

You do realize that in 35 states it was put on the ballot (same sex marriage) and in every one of those states it was shot down, even in California! The LGBTPDQRSTUV community then shopped judges to get those results overturned and force it into law by judicial fiat. About as fascist and totalitarian a method as can be had.

Now, this isn't to say I'm for or against it, it's simply pointing out that gay marriage was made law by a tiny minority of ultra-radical Leftists using the courts and sympathetic judges. What makes it even more egregious is they campaigned on the basis that they'd put it to a vote and honor the results--right up until the results weren't the ones they wanted. The Left is so fucking fascist and dictatorial it hurts, and it hurts everybody.
