A group of about a 12,000 Evangelicals took some time yesterday to march in support of a constitutional ban on gay marriage. Shouting “let us vote” and brandishing the typical signs, the group pleaded with lawmakers to hear their calls.
Some lawmakers insist that a new amendment’s superfluous, as the state already has an amendment invalidating same-sex marriages. Others worry that the 1996 amendment’s flawed and, therefore, can be found to be unconstitutional. An amendment specifically barring gay nups, then, will ensure North Carolina’s blessed purity:
…Republican legislators who support the bill say a judicial ruling could find North Carolina’s marriage law unconstitutional, forcing the state to recognize same-sex unions. Only a constitutional amendment can protect the state, said state Sen. Phil Berger, a Republican from Eden and the Senate’s GOP leader.
“We’ve seen what’s happened in other states and a constitutional amendment will keep that from happening in North Carolina”
He went on to say that they’re hoping for a law banning homosexuality entirely, thus protecting future generation’s from the most loathsome of sins: acceptance. That would be the most terrible thing in human history. Even worse than the Holocaust.
Okay, okay, he didn’t really say that, but you can imagine it, right?
How about we take this to the next level?

The evangelicals should worry more about their own flock than us sinning homosexuals.
