Tony Perkins Has The Mississippi Gladz
"Not everyone is taking the courts’ stampede to same-sex 'marriage' sitting down. In Mississippi, leaders won a moral victory from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals -- which put the redefinition of marriage on ice, at least temporarily. Judges said they want to avoid the 'extreme confusion, uncertainty, and chaos' that is wreaking havoc on states like Utah, where couples can 'marry' while litigation is ongoing. Unlike other states, where irresponsible judges have given the green light to gay licenses, the federal appeals court froze the lower court’s ruling, giving local conservatives a chance to catch their breath. But that doesn’t mean they’re slowing down. Governor Phil Bryant (R) and Attorney General Jim Hood -- who have been outspoken defenders of marriage -- are committed to going to bat for the voters’ will, which was expressed by an amendment to the state constitution 10 years ago." - Hate group leader Tony Perkins, via press release.
