New York Plans to Recognize Out-Of-State Homosexual Unions as 'Marriage'

CNS News says New York is planning to recognize homosexual unions declared "marriage" in other states.

This will undoubtedly be used as leverage down the road to force other states to do the same. The cry will be "You homophobic states must catch up with the more enlightened states like New York." And the court system will be pressed to force other states to call this unnatural relationship by the name of the most sacred relationship in human experience: marriage.

An odd thing about this development in New York (odder than the concept of homosexual "marriage" itself) is that such a thing isn't legal in New York.

Gay marriage is not legal in New York, and the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals, has said it can only be legalized by the Legislature. But the memo, based on a Feb. 1 New York Appellate Division court ruling, would recognize the marriages of New Yorkers who are legally wed elsewhere.

Doesn't that seem a little odd to you? Recognizing something created elsewhere and brought into your state as "legal" while the creation of that same thing remains ILLEGAL in your own state?

These recent developments in New York and California serve to highlight the urgency for passing a Federal Marriage Amendment Act to prevent marriage from being hijacked and undermined all across the country.

Barack Obama has already gone on record stating he will work to get rid of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) if he is elected to the presidency.

Even if Obama isn't elected, it's only a matter of time before homosexual activists press their activist judge allies in the court system to overturn even state constitutions.

These people have absolutely no respect or regard for law or constitutions. There will be nothing to stop this assault on marriage unless we spell it out in the nation's highest law: the U.S. Constitution.
