Many Christians are now using the Bible as justification for civil statutes against gay marriage. Virtually the same groups and states are now claiming that state authority concerning gay marriage is autonomous from federal authority. The same argument was made to justify prohibitions and even prosecutions against interracial marriage and, earlier, to justify owning slaves.<br /> <br />If the right of all U.S. citizens for Marriage Equality is approved, many states will continue to refuse to issue marriage licences for legal marriage between gays. There will be more lawsuits and court challenges to come.Gary Vail https://www.blogger.com/profile/06871453878695113511noreply@blogger.com
