If you thought that Oregon, despite being the sinful, Godless, God-hating state that it is, would still be a zone free from sodomarriage, you were wrong. Oregon is now officially gay territory, making the west coast of an entire continent an officially hetero-free zone. Now when these enemies of God has conque(e)red the west coast, we can only assume the east coast will be their new target in their war on Christianity.

Federal judge strikes down Oregon's same-sex marriage ban


(CNN) -- A federal judge struck down Oregon's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage Monday.

"Because Oregon's marriage laws discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation without a rational relationship to any legitimate government interest, the laws violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution," U.S. District Judge Michael McShane said in his ruling.

Oregon voters passed Measure 36 in 2004, which amended the state's Constitution to define marriage as between one man and a woman.

In February, the state's attorney general said she would not defend the ban in court because it would not stand up to a federal constitutional challenge.

"My decision will not be the final word on this subject, but on this issue of marriage I am struck more by our similarities than our differences. I believe that if we can look for a moment past gender and sexuality, we can see in these plaintiffs nothing more or less than our own families, families who we would expect our Constitution to protect, if not exalt, in equal measure," McShane said. "With discernment we see not shadows lurking in closets or the stereotypes of what was once believed; rather, we see families committed to the common purpose of love, devotion, and service to the greater community."


Same-sex couples camped out in lawn chairs outside a government building in Oregon's largest county while waiting for the news, then cheered as word of the judge's decision spread.

Multnomah County began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples minutes later, the county said in a statement.
Ben West, one of the plaintiffs who challenged Oregon's constitutional ban, stood beside his fiance and his son as he told CNN affiliate KGW that he was thrilled by the news.

"We're excited. It's surreal. We're part of history. Our family is recognized, I mean, I'm tingling. It's amazing," he said.
"It means that my son's family is just as legitimate as the one next door, and that he can grow up proud."

At a news conference shortly after the judge's ruling, activists and attorneys who challenged the amendment celebrated the news.

"Love won today," said Marty Rouse, national field director for the Human Rights Campaign.

Ten years ago, Rouse said, the first same-sex marriages in the United States were celebrated in Massachusetts. And 45 years ago marked another historic moment, he said.

"Same-sex couples were arrested and sent to jail for dancing together at establishments like the Stonewall Inn," he said. "Today, 45 years later, in 18 states and now including Oregon and the District of Columbia, same-sex couples are dancing together at their own weddings, and they have wedding rings, not handcuffs. History in Oregon. Congratulations."

Meanwhile, the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex marriage, said it had filed a motion with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals asking judges to block McShane's ruling.

"This case is an ugly example of inappropriate cooperation between the Attorney General and the gay marriage lobby, both of whom want to redefine marriage in contravention of the overwhelming decision of the people to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman," Brian Brown, the organization's president, said in a statement. "The people of Oregon are entitled to a defense of their decision on marriage rather than being abandoned in court."

Same-sex marriage now allowed in 18 states
The Oregon ruling continues a near-unbroken string of state and federal court victories nationwide in the past year for supporters of same-sex marriage.

Seventeen other states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage within their borders: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. Just over a decade ago, there were none.

Earlier this month, judges in Arkansas and Idaho ruled that same-sex marriage bans in those states were unconstitutional. Both decisions are being appealed.

This month also marks the two-year anniversary of President Barack Obama voicing his public support for the first time of same-sex marriage, citing his own "evolution" on the issue.

"At a certain point, I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married," Obama said at the time.

Groups supporting same-sex marriage applauded the Oregon ruling.

"The importance of Judge McShane's decision cannot be overemphasized," said David Fidanque, executive director of the ACLU of Oregon. "Our federal Constitution does not allow any state -- or its voters -- to deny same-sex couples equal protection under the law simply because of who they are and who they love. This type of discrimination is wrong, and it's also unconstitutional."

But court battles over the matter are far from over.

About 70 cases dealing with same-sex marriage are now making their way through U.S. courts.

Separate federal appeals courts in recent weeks heard challenges to same-sex marriage bans in Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia. Similar appeals will be heard on current bans in Nevada, Texas, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan.

Federal judge orders Utah to recognize same-sex marriages
Also Monday, a federal judge said Utah must recognize the marriages of more than 1,200 same-sex couples who obtained marriage licenses earlier this year after a court struck down that state's same-sex marriage ban.

The U.S. Supreme Court days later issued a stay preventing any more same-sex marriages, but that action left those who got married in the interim in legal limbo.

The judge's ruling Monday says Utah must give those couples "all the protections, benefits, and responsibilities given to all marriages under Utah law."

While some details of the Oregon and Utah cases are similar, there's a key difference. In Utah, the state is appealing a judge's decision to overturn its voter-approved ban of same-sex marriage. Gov. Gary Herbert slammed what he said was a decision by an "activist federal judge."

In Oregon, officials are taking the opposite tack, praising the judge's ruling overturning their state's same-sex marriage ban.

"Now, finally, all Oregonians will have the opportunity to make a legal commitment to the person they love. Every person and every family in Oregon deserves that chance," Gov. John Kitzhaber said in a statement. "Today is a win for love, for families, and for freedom."

I worry about our Brothers and Sisters on the Godless west coast. Is it time to move them all to safety? I know many of you in Freehold have the room, and 1 Timothy 5:8 seems to demand it of you. I would offer refuge here, but it would be a case of out of the frying pan, into the fire.

In the meantime all I can offer them is the comfort of James 1:2-4

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

My home is only 29,000 square feet. I simply don't know where I would put any Oregonians. Isn't there some space left in Texas?

You are so kind to think of the needy at a time like this.



I would caution you dear, from Sister to Sister, to be very careful to whom you open your door. These Oregonians are known fag enablers and probably have the AIDS already, even the normal, heterosexual ones. I would think before anyone would be considered, an extensive preventative exorcism would be in order. I don't know that most Oregonians can afford the kind of thorough treatment only a Landover Baptist Certified Exorcism can provide.

All the times it's those satan worshiping, homer-loving LIEberal judges perverting Godly laws.

Sometimes I wonder if they are trying to postpone JESUS' second coming by throwing us back to darker times.

Judges 21:25

In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

PRAISE THE LORD!

I believe that the Lord concentrates the wicked in areas along coastlines as part of His intelligent design. It is well known that God favors giant waves and great earthquakes to destroy His enemies. The entire West Coast is in danger of falling off and sinking to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and we have seen how the Lord has been wielding his giant waves of late.

Clearly, He is positioning these wretches for a reckoning.

Thank you, Brother. This piece of news was VERY depressing but your words have me reassured! It must all be according to God's PLAN!! He is GREAT!

Matthew 13:42 and Matthew 13:50 bring me magnificent comfort in times like this!

Thank you, again, Brother. Praise Jesus.

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

This makes me very worried. As some of you already know, my Son is travelling to America (because I do not want to send him to finnish unbelievers homerarmy) next autumn. He is travelling to South America in october on a cargo ship and from there to Washington state, where we have some relatives in Ephrata, WA.

Is the whole west coast really gay area? My relatives are decent folk, they are baptists and voted Mitt Romney.

So, the devil is really everywhere! I must ask them, if they voted Romney only because the choice was...well...you know what.

But Washington does not sound a safe place anymore. Maybe he should just marry some christian girl right away after he gets to USA and start own life somewhere safe.

I would say Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama are pretty safe, they have high rates of Baptists and friendly, highly intelligent people in general.

At least the Mormoon practice of Polygamy is Biblical. The queers are just ruining marriage for everyone!

Yes, the entire western coast of America is under the sway of the homosexuals, who are in turn in thrall to Satan, who is their master. It takes but a few minutes looking at a map of that area to realize that you have heard terrible things about the places on that map, even if you are generally unskilled at geography.

To the south lies Mexico, which is the home of murdering drug lords. Slightly to the north lies Los Angeles and Hollywood, which is the political and intellectual capital of the homosexuals. Further north is San Francisco. The entire population of that city is homosexual and non-homosexuals are soon found out and beaten out of the city. To the north of the San Francisco homosexuals lies Mendecino County, which is where the poison "marijuana" aka the Devil's weed is grown by bold criminals. Still north, we find the homosexual marriage center Oregon. After that: Washington, which is the home of Seattle. It is all just a really bad place full of bad people who will soon pay for their affronts to the Lord.

God has made clear His intentions, I believe. Mt. St. Helens, earthquakes, water shortages, fires, drought, floods and more has the Lord set upon them. He has held His hand up until this day, but I believe the jig is up. Soon, God's vengeance will be upon them.

I would steer a wide berth around the whole area until the situation becomes more clear. God could rain fire and death on them any time now.

That is my advice.

"The war Against Christianity"? Give me a break

[Marko Loimaan-Aho]

Thank you so much for advice, this forum really is a Holy Place!

Arkansas looks great.



It is almost like the view back home in Finland



so I am sure my son Leevi feels like home in Arkansas. I have to start seeking for some christian lady in a proper age to get married with him, maybe somebody whose father has no sons and they need a man to take care of the farm.
And thanks for information of the Mexico and the drug lords. Is it still allowed to carry a gun when you travel in America?

What could make you say such a thing? It is now well known that anybody who professes to follow Christ is persecuted.

Gays persecute Christians

The gaywise have it in for Christians because we love them enough not to want them to go to the Lake of Fire but to receive Slavation™

1st Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind ,

Yes, we Christians are still armed. Our heavy artillery has been taken from us and our machine guns too, save the ones we hid away, but we still have adequate stocks of mines, mortars and other light artillery, anti-aircraft guns, shoulder fired missiles and hand grenades.

We always carry our armaments here.

God Bless!
