Despite the fact that over two-thirds of Americans accept same-sex marriage at this point, Republicans refuse to let it go. Some Trump supporters want to say that this is a settled issue so they can paint liberals as insane snowflakes for still worrying about it, but fight definitely isn't over and opposition to LGBTQ rights and same-sex marriage is still at the forefront of Republican politics.

One more example is that 'freedom' in Trump's America only applies to those who are white, heterosexual, and the right kind of Christian.
Homosexual acts are immoral. It doesn't matter how many think they're OK. This law has been consistent for centuries. God didn't suddenly change is mind on this core principle in 2012 like Hillary and 0bummer did.

So what? I mean, I don't agree with you. But what does the fact that you think they are immoral have to do with LAW? God is not in charge of the laws in the US. God is a personal choice.

The GOP does not come to Washington to govern but to steal and transfer wealth upwards and that is no longer a secret. The only way they can titillate a very obtuse base is with this type of equally obtuse garbage.

I stand by that. This IS Trump's America and this is EXACTLY what Trumpism is about. This entire thing is retaliation for the 2015 Obergefell decision or the "darkest 24-hours in US history" as described by Ted Cruz.

These types of bills are happening all over the country. The Christian Right is becoming far more bold and far more authoritarian with the new SCOTUS alignment. I fear that if RBG is replaced by Trump it will get even worse. We are closer to losing religious freedom in this country than we have ever been and by religious freedom, I mean religious freedom as guaranteed by the First Amendment. NOT the Republican version which says white fundamentalist Christians have the freedom to force their dogma on everyone else and that everyone has to suck it up and submit.

Every "act" done by homosexuals is also done by heterosexuals. Should they not be allowed to marry either?

And your opinion and hypocritical judgements on the private lives of others thankfully means nothing more than piles of dog poo in the scheme of things.

Bingo. There is no such thing as a "homosexual act". There are just sexual acts.

OK. That doesn't mean the government has the right to regulate contracts between consenting adults.
