“Natural marriage between one (1) man and one (1) woman as recognized by the people of Tennessee remains the law in Tennessee, regardless of any court decision to the contrary.”
So reads a bill introduced by Tennessee lawmakers Rep. Mark Pody and Sen. Mae Beavers. The measure states that any court decision purporting to redefine marriage to include a union between two men or two women is “unauthoritative, void, and of no effect.”
Resistance isn’t necessarily futile. Christians and other marriage-protection proponents should continue to push back on this issue, even if the resistance is only symbolic.
The Tennessean reported that voters in the state “overwhelmingly” passed a constitutional amendment in 2006 that affirmed marriage as the union between one man and one woman. As was the case in other states, the court struck down the will of the people and expanded the meaning of a God-ordained institution at the behest of the homosexual lobby.
