Citing the Declaration of Independence, House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) argued on the House floor yesterday that same-sex couples are endowed by their Creatorby God with a right to marry.
Our Declaration of Independence, as all of us quote so often, says: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all menof course, if Jefferson were writing today, it would be either all people or all humankindare created equal, that they are endowed bynot a Congress, not by a Constitution, not by a will of the majoritytheir Creatorby Godwith certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

That, of course, has not always been Americas performance, notwithstanding it has been its promise, said Hoyer. Next week, the highest Court in our land will be asked to consider whether these words apply to same-sex couples who love one another. Many courts have already said that it does.
Born equal, endowed by God with certain unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Is there a happier time in ones life than when one pledges themselves to another? said Hoyer, later in his speech. "We all gather, we all celebrate, we all wish them well. LGBT Americans now have the right to marry and have their families treated equally in 37 States and the District of Columbia. In the remaining States, however, LGBT residents are watching the Supreme Court with great anticipation.
We need to bring those words of the Declaration of Independence closer to their full realization, Mr. Speaker. Hopefully, the Court will do that, said Hoyer.
The entirety of Hoyers speech can be read in the April 23, 2015 edition of the Congressional Record, which can be found by clicking here.
Did Steny Hoyer explain how two people of the same sex can be husband and wife?
What does Steny Hoyer know of God?
Yeah, God doesn’t give people the right to speak freely or own weapons, but anal sex is a gift from God. Seems correct. /s
Hoyer is an incredibly wrng, evil man. The wicked call evil good, and try to get others to believe it by promoting it.
All I have to say to this mental midget:

DANG!
I think he has a brother named Ren.
Oh, wait.
Never mind.
Perhaps they do have the right to pretend to get married, but I have an absolute right to completely ignore their game of make believe.
So Steny admits people’s rights come from God and don’t flow from the government?Boy,are his fellow liberal blockheads gonna be pissed with him.
Good points. Steny should consider that the God the framers believed would have been very orthodox on the subject.
Then why didn’t homos do it when it was written?
This is unreason. This is a stage. It leads to either our subjugation or War.
If what Hoyer says were true then ANYONE wanting to do ANYTHING is endorsed by God in his desire.
As far as I can tell Hoyer has just damned himself to hell.
They are going to have to change the lyrics to THE WEDDING SONG
“Well, a man shall leave his Mother
To put his penis in another man”
Yeah they do have a right to marry. Someone of the opposite sex.
The ONLY “right” (better stated “privilege”) any of us have from God is to seek His gracious mercy to grant us forgiveness and repentance mediated through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus didn’t just come to save us from the penalty of sin, but from sin itself. It WILL be a life long battle.
All sinners (which we ALL are) need to seek Him. Be you a practicing homosexual, fornicator, adulterer, liar, cheat,..etc. We all need a Savior to deliver us from Sin domination over us, and of course its eternal consequences (hell).

If Jefferson were writing today,his writing would reflect his outrage at America’s tolerance and approval of perversion and at the tyrannical agenda of the organized perverts and their political allies.
At least he makes an argument. I respect that.
The solution to this lies in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Government should never have been mucking about in the religious institution of marriage in the First place.
wherein steny exhibits far more confusion than the average occupy hippy......
No, "Steny" is loosely translated into Jive as "turd burglar." However, in Steny's title, "dumbass" is denoted by the capital "D."
