Wow!
This is major!
Oklahoma is the reddest state so far to have to wake up and smell the expresso.
Marriage equality is here to stay!!
This notion that the will of people is being subverted is false. Appeal to the majority is a fallacy -- a failed argument. That is one reason why we have judicial review; to prevent the will of the majority from trampling on the rights of the minority.
Since the state can not impose one religion over another -- the Christian beliefs of the people of Oklahoma are not as relevant when making state law as due process and equal protection.
The Christians can still have their beliefs. They can define marriage anyway they want. But those beliefs stop at the county clerks window for marriage licenses.
What I'd like to see next are Christian leaders coming forward and pointing out that clinging to one line from Leviticus while ignoring most of the other laws on slaves, women, diet, and customs is not only intellectually dishonest but Spiritually.
Christians will make all kinds of quotes out of context to connect Jesus to the two lines in the OT on homosexuality, but that doesn't explain how they ignore all the laws on slaves and treatment of women. If Christians write off most of Leviticus as archaic tribal culture, pass the pork and shrimp!!, then they have to put the entire book on that same context. It offers us an interesting insight into the life and culture of the levite tribe.
