Voters in Nevada on Tuesday repealed a 2002 measure that defined marriage in the state constitution as a union of one man and one woman.
The Associated Press reported that 61.2% of voters voted to strike the constitutional provision, with 75% of votes reported.
The measure will require the State of Nevada and its political subdivisions to recognize marriages and issue licenses to “couples, regardless of gender.”
The state already follows the definition of marriage mandated by the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges. By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court required that all states allow same-sex unions legally recognized as marriages.
Nevada’s 2020 ballot measure recognized the rights of clergy and religious organizations to refuse to perform a marriage.
The legal redefinition of marriage has posed significant religious freedom problems for religious organizations, schools, social services, adoption agencies, businesses and individuals that do not recognize same-sex unions as marriages.
Question 2 was placed on the 2020 Nevada ballot after two consecutive sessions of the state legislature voted to place it there.
The above comes from a Nov. 4 story with the Catholic News Agency.
Is this surprising in a state with legal prostitution?
Voting condemnation upon themselves. The boom is coming Nevada.
Care to give a timeframe for that prediction? And if you’re correct in principle, why haven’t the tech moguls or Democrat politicians or the Bay Area in California received the boom for their support of exactly the same thing for the past two decades? Oh, but they have received a boom in their wealth. God’s blessings bestowed upon the wicked. Yessirree. Providence. Awesome.
Soon. Even sooner if the left pushes Biden over the line with massive vote fraud. I don’t think the country can take four years of Harris/Biden, even after Pelosi loses the house. Besides this nonsense, we have the blood of over 60 million babies calling for judgment.
In my county, the number of polling places was reduced to only two (from ~9). One of which was a masonic temple. Needless to say, I voted in person at city hall.
Keith w:
an excellent choice of polling places;
unfortunately, i know an author of a
recent encyclical who would probably have chosen
the masonic temple, were he in your shoes
An excellent example of how what you say about others says more about you then it does about them.
Anon – Take this FWIW. Several years ago, I periodically attended daily Mass at a nearby parish. I attended this daily Mass because I could attend and get to work right after. The pastor was pretty typical NO priest. At one Mass he announced that the parish was to have a party / carnival with the local Masons. He stated that he felt that this would foster understanding between the two groups. There was more crud about how Masons are misunderstood by the Church. I was so horrified and disgusted I never went back to that parish. Looking back, I should have gotten up and left but was pretty shocked at the time.
So, do you doubt active demonic Masonic influence in today’s Church?
I would have notified the chancery.
Perhaps, but in this case what the “other” has said himself says plenty about him that isn’t complimentary and has encouraged speculation of the sort that you have taken issue with.
You are right, your comments do say a lot about you.
did i hurt your freemasonic sensibilities ?
Would the church be opposed to free masonry?
Clever pun.
you’re kidding …. Right???
my bad …
Very clever indeed
i wish I had said that
profoundest apologies …… free masonry !
