The state of things to come? Fined, fired or even jailed unless we relent?

According to a May 21 Seattle PI editorial regarding the California Supreme Court’s recent ruling in favor of legalizing homosexual marriages, openly homosexual Washington State Senator Ed Murray, D-Seattle, and a representative of the largest Michigan gay-rights group, the Triangle Foundation, have said that people who continue to act as if marriage is a union between a man and a woman should face being fined, fired and even jailed until they relent.

Senator Murray denies saying this but the author of the PI article, David Benkof, he himself a homosexual who opposes gay-marriage, responds to Sen. Murray’s denial saying that Murray wrote him the following statements:

“If we ever pass a law that allows for marriage equality for same sex couples, then whatever current law states regarding discrimination against any married couples, should apply to them.”

As to a business owner who in an act of civil disobedience absolutely refused to behave as if a wife-wife couple were married because he believes deeply that they are not:

“The law should be enforced, just as it was when either King or Gandhi engaged in civil disobedience. Both ended up in jail despite the righteousness of their cause.”

As many of you know, Senator Murray has been nothing less than a diligent promoter of the gay agenda. He is the author of the 2007 domestic partnerships/civil unions bill and this year’s expansion of that measure. Both measures were passed by the Washington State Legislature and signed into law by Governor Christine Gregoire.

It is a sad reality that state government in Olympia has spun wildly out of balance with cultural liberals controlling all three legislative branches of government; and a tragedy that the leadership of the current majority party has allowed a core of homosexual activists and secular “progressives” to hijack their social policy.

As Senator Ed Murray and his cohorts in Olympia draw ever closer to making same-sex marriage the law of the land, Washingtonians had best open their eyes and swing into action as we can now see a time fast approaching when speaking out in opposition to the homosexual movement may not only cost you your job, but some jail or prison time.
