Current Events > South Carolina law makers call gay marriage Parody Marriage .

(+) Yeah! (+)

The day after Valentines Day, six South Carolina legislators introduced a bill to the House that would amend the definition of what constitutes marriage in the Palmetto State.

The Marriage and Constitution Restoration Act was introduced Feb. 15 and would draw a line between what its sponsors deem is marriage and what is considered parody marriage.

According to the bill, parody marriage means any form of marriage that does not involve one man and one woman. Marriage means a union of one man and one woman.

By that definition, any LGBT marriage would be a parody marriage. That wasnt well received by Jeff March, president of SC Pride.....

They go on to say that while there has been no land rush on gay marriage, it has had other detrimental effects. Specifically, the persecution of nonobservers, and an effort by believers and practitioners of parody marriage to infiltrate and indoctrinate minors in public schools to their religious world view which is questionably moral, plausible, obscene.

But yet these asshole support Trump. Someone we know have broken a few of the 2 commandments and acts like it is nothing. Beyond that gay marriage isn't even on that list.

**Edited to add.***

I don't know how in the hell they think this would have a net positive on the state. When North Carolina and GA when all in South Carolina got a boost from people skipping those states. Now they are going after gay people. This would not help the people of South Carolina at all.

Republican politicians got to throw their supporters a bone every once in a while to stop them from realizing that they're getting screwed. The politicians know this won't go anywhere. It's just there for pandering. And evangelical Christians are so brainwashed by the above politicians that they support anything they do even if it is super hypocritical. Like with facts, they pick and choose which things in the Bible they want to believe in and enforce on everyone else.

Our country is stagnating because of idiots getting hung up on issues like this that should have been resolved thirty years ago, and which technically have already been resolved.

what do they consider marriage that isn't done under their specific religion?

They lost, they know it, they're still scrambling to find any sort of way to reclaim their stranglehold.

Relentless mockery is appropriate.

Marriage isn't in the constitution, at least not the US one.

Didn't we go through this in the seventies? It didn't work then when it wasn't actually as accepted as it is now.

Who cares? Like seriously. Fix things that actually affect your state

To be fair, it is likely referring to the state Constitution.

*checks*

Yep. Check Section 15:

They added that in 2007. At the bottom (the following page), you can see: "For validity, check Obergefell vs. Hodges". That case invalidated that preceding section, but they didn't remove it from the Constitution. Oh boy they didn't.

So that's what it's referring to.
