Friday, March 6, 2015 will be an important day in the legacy of U.S. President Barack Obama. On that day, for the first time, Obama’s administration has filed a brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in support of nationwide same-sex marriage.
The brief was filed on behalf of same-sex couples in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. “The marriage bans challenged in these cases impermissibly exclude lesbian and gay couples from the rights, responsibilities and status of civil marriage,” Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr. wrote. He said the states have “burdened petitioners in every aspect of life that marriage touches, from the mundane to the profound.” Arguments before the high court will be heard April 28.
The bans, said Verrilli, “cannot be reconciled with the fundamental constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the laws.” He said there is “no adequate justification for such a discriminatory and injurious exercise of state control.”
President Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, in an op-ed in USAToday said “marriage equality is an idea whose time has come.”
President Obama has openly supported same-sex marriage since May of 2012. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the plaintiffs it could eliminate bans on same-sex marriage in all 50 states and U.S. territories.
The Bible tells us that conditions at the end of time will be very similar to what it was like in Sodom.
“The same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Luke 17:29, 30
