JOHN
KERRY SUPPORTS SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
Monday, March 15, 2004
There are many issues of which I strongly disagree with Democrat
Presidential Candidate John Kerry, and I will take up those issues
in a later commentary but I do want to share with you now of Kerry’s
support for same-sex marriage.
He has gone so far as to tell homosexual activists that the federal
government should recognize “same-sex marriages” and
civil unions that are legalized on the state level.
His position means that the federal government would grant the
same 1,000 plus benefits enjoyed by married couples nationwide to
same-sex couples, provided that the couples live in a state that
allows for same-sex marriages and civil unions.
Kerry made the pledge at a homosexual fundraiser in San Francisco
in February. The federal benefits he is referring to are like: “The
right to file joint income taxes and the right to collect survivor
benefits.”
This is the first time in history that a presidential candidate
has ever supported full and equal protection for same-sex couples.
According to California State Representative Mark Leno, who introduced
the same-sex bill in California, Kerry would grant all 1049 federal
rights to same-sex couples in whatever legal union their states
recognize.”
President Bush backs a constitutional marriage amendment, saying
it is probably the only way to stop nationalized “same-sex
marriage”.
Bush said: “The Amendment process has addressed many serious
matters of national concern and the preservation of marriage rises
to this level of national importance.”
It appears same-sex marriage is shaping up to be the number one
issue in the cultural campaign war of 2004.
Contact the President. Let him know you appreciate his position
on marriage between one man and one woman. But let him know we all
need for him to continue to speak to the issue; not just once.
Senator John Kerry is speaking sin and reproach over our land.
Pray his eyes would be open to the truth.
“Righteousness exalts a nation; but sin is a reproach to
any people.”
Proverbs 14: 34
