That’s not completely accurate. A lot of the laws banning gay unions were in place and legitimately passed by many state legislatures. It has been a slew of judges and circuit courts just deciding to overturn what the voters had decided.

Oh yes, I know.

We continue to elect the same politicians that appoint the same type of judges that makes these tyrannical decisions, and then we obey those decisions.

We have most certainly allowed our government to usurp our power.

We no longer have the right to chose how we want to love, rather we are told how we will live.

Yep. By my count, one state (Maine) passed gay marriage by referendum, one state (Washington) had the legislature pass gay marriage and it was ratified by referendum. Eight states passed gay marriage via the legislature.

The other TWENTY states had gay marriage rammed down their throats by judges.

Twenty more states have not been told by judges that their anti-gay marriage laws are illegal (yet). But cases are pending in all the Circuits at this point in time.

It’s amazing how the will of the American people has been discarded by the judiciary
