MAINE: Dem US Senate Candidate Objects To HRC’s Endorsement Of GOP Opponent

“My opponent, Republican Susan Collins, had the chance to speak up in favor of marriage equality in 2012 or any time in the previous decade.

COLORADO: Boulder County Clerk Issues Same-Sex Marriage Licenses, Says Stayed Utah Ruling Applies In Her State

“I am relying on the 10th Circuit’s statement that marriage is a fundamental right. Because the Court stayed its mandate, officials in Utah will not have to implement the decision immediately. Even so, I believe the opinion is clear and it is important to act immediately. Colorado’s prohibition on same sex marriage has treated our family, friends and co-workers have …

Brian Brown Has The Two-State Sadz

“Today’s split decision of a panel of judges in the 10th Circuit is not surprising given that this Circuit refused to even order a stay of the district court decision when it came down during the Christmas holidays.

Tony Perkins Has The Two-State Sadz

“While disturbing, today’s rulings come as no surprise given the rising disdain for the rule of law promoted by the Obama administration. These latest rulings are not just about redefining marriage but they are a further attempt by the courts to untether our public policies from the democratic process, as well as the anthropological record. While judges can, by judicial …

The judicial oligarchy (tyranny of the few) continues flexing the muscle of its apparently unchecked power. The death of democracy is undeniably upon us. Each victory for the homosexual activists represents another …
