Oklahoma Fundamentalist Idiocy
It's no secret that fundamentalist christians hate the idea of LGBT Americans having the same rights as all other Americans -- especially when it comes to marriage. In spite of the fact that a growing majority of Americans believe same-sex couples should be afforded the same right to marry the person they love as opposite-sex couples have, fundamentalists oppose same-sex marriage and want that to be the law.
The problem they have is that this hateful belief is a religious one, and not a constitutional one. In fact, a federal judge in Tulsa has recently ruled that the Oklahoma ban on same-sex marriages violates the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution -- the amendment that guarantees all Americans equal rights under the law.
The decision is currently stayed from being executed because the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals is considering a similar case from Utah, but that hasn't kept Oklahoma fundies from getting all bent out of shape. They simply cannot stand the idea of everyone having the same rights -- and to prevent that from happening in Oklahoma, some fundies have come up with a rather insane idea. They want to ban ALL marriages in that state.
