State Supreme Court Chief Justice: Gay Marriage Intended To Destroy Foundation Of America

Alabama state Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, on a cross country speaking tour, told an audience in Washington state that the intent of same-sex marriage is to destroy America. Moore made headlines last week when he traveled to Mississippi, attacked same-sex marriage, and claimed the First Amendment applies only to Christians. 

Chief Justice Moore told the audience assembled at the Oakbrook Country and Golf Club that the 1885 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Murphy v. Ramsey – a case about polygamy in Utah – made clear that marriage can only be “one man and one woman in the holy estate of matrimony.”

“It is the sure foundation of all that is noble and stable in our civilization,” Moore said, warning that same-sex marriage will destroy so-called “traditional marriage,” and then America.

One man-one woman marriage, Moore said, “is the best guarantee of that reverent morality which is the source of all beneficent progress and social and political improvement. Foundation is the foundation of our country. If it is destroyed, then our Constitution will fail, our government will fail because God’s institution has been interfered with.”

Moore continued, telling the audience that the intent of same-sex marriage is “not about two men getting married or two women, it’s about destroying an institution ordained of God, it’s about feeling good but ignoring God’s laws for happiness for civilization for progress as the United States Supreme Court recognizes.”

Moore also thinks America should convene a constitutional convention to protect “traditional marriage” and has tried to advance a constitutional amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman.

“God determined that a woman be fit for a man,” Moore said, insisting that “mommies and daddies” give children different things, although he also said that different mothers and fathers give different things to children.

Moore is best known for refusing a federal judge’s order to remove a statute of the Ten Commandments from his court house. He lost his seat on the court as a result, but ten years later ran for re-election and won.
