America Rejects Biblical Marriage

Nothing more dramatically shows the moral downfall of America and the rise to power of the forces of darkness and the onslaught of end-time apostasy than the legalization of "same-sex marriage." In a mere nine years, the practice has been legalized in 18 states and the District of Columbia. Three of these were by majority vote of the citizens, seven were by act of state legislatures, and eight were by judicial fiat based on mythical concepts not found in the U.S. Constitution. Following are the states: Massachusetts (May 17, 2004), Connecticut (Nov. 12, 2008), Iowa (Apr. 24, 2009), Vermont (Sep. 1, 2009), District of Columbia (Dec. 18, 2009), New Hampshire (Jan. 1, 2010), New York (July 24, 2011), Washington (Dec. 9, 2012), Maine (December 29, 2012), Maryland (Jan. 1, 2013), California (June 28, 2013), Delaware (July 1, 2013), Minnesota (Aug. 1, 2013), Rhode Island (Aug. 1, 2013), New Jersey (Oct. 21, 2013), Hawaii (Dec. 2, 2013), New Mexico (Dec. 19, 2013), Utah (Dec. 20, 2013), and Illinois (law to take effect June 1, 2014).
