Brokeback Maryland

Mary-land is about to go the way of Kerry-land (Massachussettes) and let men marry men, women marry women, and bicycles marry billy goats.

Liberal activist Judge M. Brooke Murdock has struck down a state law against same-sex marriage.

... Murdock ruled in favor of 19 homosexual men and women who claimed in a lawsuit that the same-sex marriage ban violates equal rights and due process provisions of Maryland's constitution.

"After much study and serious reflection," wrote Murdock in Friday's ruling, "this court holds that Maryland's statutory prohibition against same-sex marriage cannot withstand this constitutional challenge."

She said the law violates the Maryland Declaration of Rights because it discriminates against a "suspect class" based on gender.She said the law "is not narrowly tailored to serve any compelling governmental interests."

What about families, judge? Aren't they a "compelling interest?" What about the church? Isn't it a compelling interest? What about values? If this is a Christian nation, which it is, then it is up to the judges to enforce pro-family laws, not throw them out.

How can Maryland say that it values families when marriage itself is devalued?

Thankfully, the state is appealing this ruling, which amounts to nothing more than communist tyranny. Christians with traditional marriages deserve better.
