A federal judge on Friday evening issued a ruling striking down Alabama’s constitutional ban on gay marriage on the grounds that it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
The plaintiffs in the case, Cari Searcy and Kimberly McKeand, have been a same-sex couple since 2000. They’ve lived in Mobile, Ala., since 2001, but traveled to California in 2008 to get legally married after winning a San Diego Convention Bureau contest, according to the Associated Press.
A central issue in the case was McKeand’s 8-year-old child.

It no longer matters what the people want. Unless Judges agree.
ReplyDeleteReally.
DeleteI remember the good'ol days when marriage was a Christian institution that took place in a Church. A bond made in the presence of God Himself for the sake of (true) love and family.
ReplyDeleteNow...its just some thing that people do after they've been "together" for x amount of time, for economic/political reasons more than anything. Its, sadly, becoming a sham.
Any priest, preacher or father etc that marries against Gods law of nature isn't necessarily Christian in my eyes. Judges don't legislate or interpret what Gods Word means either. Up to the faithful to keep the Word righteous as intended.
