With the Capitol dome as a backdrop, Bishop Harry Jackson of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Md., and a large group of pastors in town for a national conference, joined House Republicans for a press conference Thursday to announce legislation in opposition to the recent decision by the D.C. City Council to recognize same-sex marriages from states where the practice is legal.

The D.C. Defense of Marriage Act, co-sponsored by Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Dan Boren (D-Okla.), states “that in the District of Columbia, for all legal purposes, ‘marriage’ means the union of one man and one woman.”

“The strength of that institution ultimately decides the strength of our entire culture,” Jordan said in opening the conference, held on the steps of the Cannon House Office Building. “It is family that truly is the foundational institution of our nation, and marriage is its cornerstone.”

These men put forth the best press conference and statements I have heard in a long time. And they are right on all counts. It is about the children, and yes America does believe that. ANY and EVERY state that has forced this abomination on it's citizens, has done via judges or legislators who went against the wishes of their constituents.

Judges can also marry people. That is another form of secular ceremony.

But regardless, none are Holy matrimony.

Since when weddings were ever secularized?””

Since the lawyers found out they could exploit it for big bucks.
