Drawing what they called a line “we cannot and will not cross,” more than 200 conservative activists released a letter Thursday vowing to ignore any U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage equality for same-sex couples. The signers include prominent anti-LGBT activists and major figures from the national conservative movement. Circulated by Liberty Counsel Action chairman Mat Staver and Common Good Alliance chairman Deacon Keith Fournier, under the banner of the equally ironically named Freedom Federation, the statement bore the title, “We Stand in Solidarity to Defend Marriage and the Family and Society Founded Upon Them.” After arguing that same-sex marriage goes against “natural moral law,” the signers claim that the Supreme Court has “no authority to redefine marriage,”
So what they going to do, throw sticks and stones?
I really don't know what they can do. Unless they are in a position to issue marriage licenses (state ones-- religious orgs can do what they want), their personal recognition of marriage between gays doesn't mean a load of spit...
That is funny!
All they can do to "ignore it" I guess, is for protester John to not marry Adam and protester Jane not to marry Sally.
That'll show 'em!

Marriage law has always been up to the states, and should remain that way. Progressive mandates from the courts, that attempt to rule over the entire nation by judicial fiat, are not the way to go about this.

I wonder if they threatened to protest outside the homes of folks like Newt Gingrich, Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears. Now THOSE people are the poster children for the sanctity of heterosexual holy matrimony.

It can't be. It is inevitable that the SCOTUS would rule on this based upon equal protection.
If someone can get government benefits in one state based upon marital status but can't in another that is unequal.
The extreme religious right doesnt represent conservatives anymore than the extreme left represents the Democratic party. But you can vomit all over this board with your hatred if it makes you feel better
