NORTH CAROLINA LAWMAKERS STILL TRYING TO BAN MARRIAGE EQUALITY: 'TELL IT TO SATAN!'

[RandySF]

Four years after Obergefell v. Hodges, Republicans in North Carolina are still not fighting to stop marriage equality. And they have a message for supporters of LGBT rights: "Tell it to Satan."

Introduced in the state assembly in February, HB 65, the Marriage Reaffirmation Amendment Act, would revive North Carolina's ban on same-sex marriage, approved by voters in 2012, and render Obergefell null and void and unenforceable. The measure would alsoprohibit civil unions and domestic partnerships for same-sex couples.

The bill also includes language that defines same-sex unions as "parody marriage" and claims "self-asserted sex-based identity narratives and sexual orientations that do not follow the scientifically obvious biology of the human species are inseparably part of the religion of Secular Humanism."

In a statement in February, Equality NC slammed HB 65 as "yet another heartless attempt to rewrite settled legislation that protects same-sex couples all across the state."

1. "Tell it to Satan."

You tell him, you know him much better.

2. How about "Ask Jesus"?

It's funny how "Obergefel" hasn't become a staple of discussion.

3. I lived my first 22 years in NC, born, raised, educated. JFC has it turned into a shithole. And I..

thought moving to GA was regressive 47 years ago.

Sad what those fucking Repubes have done to a once fairly enlightened state.

4. So, in one sentence they say,

"science is not true and only gods words are" then in the next sentence they claim "science proves being gay is not natural." Well, you stupid fucks, which one is it?

5. They no longer have

a super majority to override the Governor so unless some D's crossover it's going nowhere.
