New Bill by NCGA Idiots Claims Gay Marriage Is a Religion, Attempts to Ban It

What better Valentine’s Day gift to North Carolina’s LGTBQ residents than the bill filed in the North Carolina House Wednesday asserting that gay marriage is a “parody” and a “religion” and therefore shouldn’t be recognized as valid.

Similar bills have been filed in Kansas and Tennessee. North Carolina’s House Bill 65, filed Wednesday by Republican state representatives Mark Brody, Keith Kidwell, and Confederate-loving Lincoln-hater Larry Pittman, attempts to “declare null and void” the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision Obergefell vs. Hodges, which guaranteed same-sex couples the right to wed in 2015.

The bill asserts that, while gay marriage is “inseparably part” of the religion of “Secular Humanism,” straight marriage is “the only model for marriage that simply follows the scientifically obvious biology of human beings.” Though opposition to gay marriage strongly correlates to conservative religious traditions, the bill's backers claim that “marriage between a man and a woman arose out of the nature of the human species, and marriage between a man and a woman is natural, uncontrived, and noncontroversial, unlike forms of marriage that do not involve a man and a woman.”

Oh yes, it gets better: “Obergefell v. Hodges in effect has imposed the views of Secular Humanism on the People and the States of these United States in the matter of marriage law, which authority is not given to the federal government in the United States Constitution, and is, therefore, an unconstitutional establishment of religion and also an unconstitutional usurpation by the United States Supreme Court of powers reserved to the People or to the States.”
