Gay Activists Determined to Overthrow Florida's Traditional Marriage Laws
Charisma News ^ | 1/21/2014 | Bill Roberts

Gay activists with the group Equality Florida announced Tuesday they are filing a federal lawsuit to attempt to overturn Florida's Marriage Protection Amendment.

In 2008, 62 percent of Floridians voted to pass the historical amendment supported by the Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC).

"Gay activists cannot win in the marketplace of ideas, so they have resorted to trying to find renegade courts who have little respect for the rule of law to create social change that would never happen through the people or their elected representatives," John Stemberger, FFPC president and general counsel, said in a statement.

"Today's lawsuit is nothing more than a publicity stunt," he continued. "Filed in Miami, it represents 'forum shopping' in the most liberal legal venue in the state." However, we are confident that Florida's attorney general, Pam Bondi, will provide a vigorous defense of Florida's long-held law and, in doing so, will expose the radical views and overreaching legal positions set forth in today's lawsuit.

Liberals are perpetually unhappy with the world we live in.

In Florida alone, they now want to overthrow the marriage law, overthrow the law making pot illegal, overthrow the Stand Your Ground law.

And you can bet they have a long list of other things they want to change too.

It must be a miserable life, being a liberal and hating just about everything in your life, hating your country, hating the US Constitution, despizing the Founding Fathers, hating half of your neighbors and the half of the entire US population who think differently than you do.

Liberals demand tolerance i every aspect of life except for people and ideas they don’t agree with.

Homosexuals cannot procreate. Period.

I really hate to tell you this, but thousands upon thousands of homosexuals have biological children. It can be from a marriage to a straight person, it can be through artificial insemination, it can be from a surrogate. Shoot, homosexuals can be sperm donors and have hundreds of offspring. So they are busy procreating every day.

Without marriage and children, our population would age rapidly with no replacements.

No, without children our population would age rapidly with no replacements. Marriage is not necessary for procreation, for either heterosexual or homosexual couples.

“Gays”, queers, homosexuals can attempt to change or legislate their view of morality, but as for me, they are now, and ever will be, a stain on society, period.

Stats, please. I say horse vomit.

The majority of homosexuals weren't in a previous traditional marriage.

it can be through artificial insemination, it can be from a surrogate. Shoot, homosexuals can be sperm donors and have hundreds of offspring.

More garbage opinion not supported by facts.

So they are busy procreating every day.

No, they are not "procreating" in the natural sense. They are out cruising or whatever the Hell homos do.

No, without children our population would age rapidly with no replacements.

Without them growing up in a two-parent household to guide and nurture them?

I won’t even try to find statistics re biological children of homosexuals. I have the feeling that you wouldn’t believe whatever I found anyway. So... believe what you want. It won’t change reality.

But I am puzzled by your assertion that two parents are necessary to guide and nurture children in order for the children to procreate. It seems to me that plenty of children from broken homes are procreating just fine.
