Embarrassing Irony: Tyree – Minorities Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Change Marriage

Former Giants football player David Tyree, an African-American, tells the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) that just because a minority has “an agenda,” they shouldn’t be allowed to change the legal definition of marriage, and suggests gay marriage is wrong because children need a mother and a father to be successful.

“How can marriage be marriage for thousands of years and now all the sudden because a minority, an influential minority, has a push or an agenda and totally reshapes something that was not founded in our country, not founded by man, something that’s holy or sacred?,” Tyree asks.

This past Sunday marked the 44th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court case that overturned anti-miscegenation laws which prohibited interracial marriage. Certainly, it’s fair to state that in 1967, a racist could have easily asked, “How can marriage be marriage for thousands of years and now all the sudden because a minority, an influential minority, has a push or an agenda and totally reshapes something that was not founded in our country, not founded by man, something that’s holy or sacred?”

Tyree says that “two men will never be able to show a woman how to be a woman,” despite the fact that studies prove that children raised by same-sex couples are at least as well-adjusted and successful in school than their peers parented by opposite-sex parents.

Speaking of Christ, Christians, and saying he is dedicating his life to Jesus, Tyree says, “It’s not about establishing a theocracy.”

 

Tyree states that if New York passes the same-sex marriage equality law, “this will be the beginning of our country’s sliding toward, you know, it’s a strong word, but anarchy.”

Tyree’s statements make clear he is saying that same-sex marriage is not “what is good, what is right, what is just.”

On another note, NOM is so very excited about this video, they posted on their site, in “Tyree Video on Marriage Going Viral!,” “We’re having a tough time keeping up with all the news outlets who have picked up our interview with SupreBowl legend David Tryree!”

Note to NOM, spelling — not to mention, logic — counts. Especially when you’re setting yourself up as the arbiter of “what is good, what is right, what is just.”
