Pledge to Oppose Gay Marriage

By Dean Young, pledged to Traditional Marriage Our faith teaches us that marriage is defined as one man and one woman joining together in holy matrimony. The Defense of Marriage Act passed Congress and became law in hopes of protecting traditional marriage and against an activist homosexual marriage agenda. In June of this year the U.S. Supreme Court declared the protections of DOMA unconstitutional. The national Republican Party platform has a clear plank opposing gay marriage. The Alabama State Republican Executive Committee has on its agenda for its August 24 meeting a by-law change to expel any member who supports gay marriage, thereby contradicting the Republican position. It is time for men and women of faith to stand for the founding Christian values and morals that made our nation great, to defend our families and the sacred holiness of marriage. NOW THEREFORE THESE CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS IN ALABAMAS FIRST DISTRICT PLEDGE AS FOLLOWS: 1. I believe that the only marriage is between one man and one woman. 2. I believe the Biblical condemnation of homosexuality and thereby gay marriage. 3. The tenants of my church oppose gay marriage. 4. I oppose gay marriage. 5. As a member of Congress, I shall take active steps to oppose gay marriage. 6. I support the by-law change to expel any member of the Republican Executive Committee who opposes the party position by supporting gay marriage.
