Gay Marriage, Donald Trump, and a "Normal America"

[TruthSeeker112125]

Keep in Mind America,.... POTUS Trump publicly Campaigned for the Sodomite Vote, when he first ran for POTUS, (Which the Christian Voters gagged on, & swallowed, or totally ignored Trump's hypocrisy!) and,.... He has never sought to reverse "Gay Marriage", nor, as an "Alleged Christian", has he publicly spoken against the "Lifestyle of Sodomy"!​

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (LifeSiteNews) — The Tennessee House of Representatives passed legislation on Thursday that would allow private citizens and organizations to refuse to recognize homosexual “marriages,” in a major challenge to the LGBT movement.

House Bill 1473, which cleared the state House 68-24 with overwhelming support from Republicans, would exempt banks, medical institutions, and other private entities from recognizing what the bill refers to as “a purported marriage between individuals of the same sex.”

The bill additionally states that government officials may not face discipline or sanctions for “declining to celebrate or officiate at a marriage or commitment ceremony that falls outside the definition of marriage provided in this code.”

The legislation pushes back against Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court decision that legalized homosexual “marriage” nationwide."

"“Private citizens and organizations are not bound by the Fourteenth Amendment or by the Supreme Court’s purported interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment in Obergefell v. Hodges,” House Bill 1473 says.

All Republicans in the Tennessee House voted for the measure, while all Democrats voted against it.

“It was the U.S. Supreme Court on June the 26th of 2015 that overstepped its bounds and invented this ‘right’ to marriage of individuals of the same sex, despite there being no support whatsoever in the language of the 14th Amendment for that proposition,” said Republican state Rep. Gino Bulso, who introduced the bill, according to local news.

“The court decided to redefine something that Almighty God had not given that court the authority to redefine,” Republican Rep. Monty Fritts also said.

The bill now has to pass the Republican-controlled state Senate, where it is being considered in the Judiciary Committee.

“The overwhelming majority of Tennesseans already affirmed what we have known for all of history: marriage is between one man and one woman,” Bulso said in a press release, referring to Tennessee’s 2006 Marriage Protection Amendment, which passed with 81 percent of the vote.

“This legislation protects religious liberty in the Volunteer State by clarifying that private citizens can never be forced to recognize any other definition. I’m grateful to my Republican colleagues for standing with me to defend the common-sense values that have shaped our state and nation,” he added.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation is hosting protests this weekend in Knoxville in opposition to the bill’s passage, according to WBIR.

Tennessee is known for taking action against LGBT ideology in recent years. The state has banned chemical and surgical “gender transitions” for minors, gender-confused males in female K-12 and college sports, drag shows in front of children, and more.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a law in 2024 allowing officials to refuse to “solemnize” so-called “marriages” between homosexuals.

The passage of House Bill 1473 comes amid growing backlash against homosexuality and the LGBT movement, with support for homosexual “marriage” declining significantly among Republican voters and the American public, according to recent polling.

Homosexuality also radically contradicts Christian values, which most Tennesseean profess to support and on which the United States was founded. The Bible condemns homosexuality as an “abomination” (Lev 18:22), a mortal sin (1 Cor 6:9-10), and a sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance (Gen 18:20, 19:13).

The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual activity is gravely sinful and “intrinsically disordered” and that legislation attempting to equate homosexual unions with marriage is “gravely unjust.”

“There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God’s plan for marriage and family,” the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith taught in a 2003 document approved by Pope St. John Paul II.

Raising children in a homosexual household, deprived of a mother or a father, “would actually mean doing violence to these children,” stresses the document, which was issued by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI.

Indeed, homosexual “marriage” is particularly harmful to children, as demonstrated by several cases in the last few years of homosexuals arrested for abusing adopted children, trying to obtain children to abuse them, or otherwise committing child abuse."

TRUE Blaster!

But since the "Kenyan Imposter Obama" threatened to revoke the Tax Exempt status of America's churches, if they didn't accept "Gay Marriage", & Trump not only did nothing about that, but went even further, & embraced those who practice that Lifestyle,.... Queers are popping up in America like dandelions on a lawn.

How can a so called "Church" accept Faggotry, & Ignore what happened to Sodom & Gomorrah?!?

 

[TNHarley]

Fact is, the religious allowed government into marriage. If they would have kept it private, things would be different. But alas, here we are.
Gays marrying isnt going anywhere. And the state has no power to discriminate. Despite them doing bullshit like this.

 

[Mr Natural]

Maybe Trump is gay.

 

[TruthSeeker112125]

Maybe Trump is gay.

Wouldn't that be "Bi-sexual"?

Maybe Trump is gay.

I think you are.

See the 6 minute mark

Given your screen name, you should be sued for false advertising. You don't give a shit about the truth. You only care about your own sick, bizarre viewpoint even though it's always wrong.

TRUMP stays away from issues like gay marriage and abortion because he knows in the bigger picture they don't win election but instead are used as attack bait by democrats and RINOS.
With regard to gay marriage he has members of his cabinet, namely Bessent, who are in a gay marriage. No doubt this is being pushed by never-TRUMPers in TN as a way to cause division knowing TRUMP isn't going to support it.

Well thats a losing lawsuit. Putting the SCOTUS case aside, if other marriages of such occur in other states then the Constitution requires they are fully recognized in Tennessee. Sorry.


Shouldn't Tennessee be focusing on the shithole status of their education, healthcare and their economy?

This helps the price of groceries in no way whatsoever. The Republican Party used to be the party of leaving people alone.

Perhaps we need to total the cost to keep each citizen alive in a socialist utopia.

We have free junior college and we run a surplus. Healthcare could be improved, but we are also mostly rural. And we still manage to have great access to hospitals.
