Attempts to normalize homosexual deviance through the force of government mandate can have no effect on the real meaning of marriage. If our government mandates calling a dog's tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?
The Supreme Court already ruled that States have authority to pass laws regulating marriage. Now a few federal judges refuse to adjudicate accordingly.
Utah is the test case. All Americans and free people from everywhere are watching to see the result of this controversy.
There will be long-lasting implications of our support for traditional marriage.

Same sex marriage and abortion until the day of birth are part of the Democrat platform. 1/4 of LDS voters are Democrat. 1/4 of our LDS members support same sex marriage and abortion until the day of birth with their vote. This is horrifying.
Gerald CourtneyJanuary 18, 2014
We believe that Marriage between a man and a woman is God's commandment and the way He wants us to multiply and replenish the earth.
Laurel YoungJanuary 18, 2014
Call it something else, but DO NOT call it Marriage. God defines marriage as between a man and a woman. Anything else is NOT Marriage.
Ronald HoadleyJanuary 15, 2014
Traditional marriage has worked fine for Centuries. LEAVE IT ALONE. No one is preventing anyone from pursuing the lifestyle they prefer. Just stop trying to push it on everyone else to accept it. I do not agree with the lifestyle but that is their business. Marriage should remain between a Man and a Woman only.
PatriciaJanuary 15, 2014
God's institution of marriage is between a man and woman, stop trying to cram your liberal, and immoral views down our throats.
Diana lynn OpphileJanuary 14, 2014
As I've told my children, right is right and wrong is wrong. There's no two way's about it. Looking at China there race is fast on the road of being done if they keep killing all female babies. What's the difference? How did the court's get in to the picture. Family, Let us not destroy what God has joined together.

Mark LewisJanuary 13, 2014
Marriage, but it's very definition means the union of two different but complementary units. Trying to apply it to sameness can result in a type of union, but not a "marriage."
That's why civil unions, if desired, make much more sense for gays.
Heavenly Father has given us the answer to this issue.
Joyce RodebushJanuary 13, 2014
I am from Iowa and happily signed the petition. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Period!

Katie B.January 13, 2014
I see this issue as a redefinition of marriage, not as a matter of civil rights. Our national and state laws govern the institution of marriage because of property laws and most especially because of the welfare of minors. The State of Utah has spoken about the DEFINITION of marriage via constitutional amendment. Does the state not have the right to amend its own constitution?
Robert EricksonJanuary 13, 2014
Time to pay attention to the constitution. The constitution lays out what the gov't can do. All else is for the states to determine. Need to put the gov't in it's place, how about Antartica?

With that in mind I hope Utah is successful in having their state laws upheld, for I strongly believe that marriage should only be between a man and a woman!

I wish to preserve the natural family unit, of man woman love and children that naturally come. I believe that babies do BEST with their mom and dad. I believe our society currently pays a HEAVY price for already REDEFINING marriage once before.. in making divorce easy, in promoting infidelity and premarital sex, in watering down and cheapening the amazing power and opportunity to create life... and then making abortions easy to get. What we oppose is not the happiness and freedom of gay people to be with who they choose, we oppose the gay community's efforts to "change the culture, rather than assimilate into the culture that already exists." They wish to change every "social, economic, legal, educational and religious institution that service and support marriage, family and children." That seems to be the end goal.

I'm currently serving a senior mission in Albania but am greatly disturbed by the tides that are turning in my country. I live in North Carolina where same-sex marriage was defeated by the voters 2 years ago but may be also subject to what happened in Utah. I guess it can happen anywhere people remain complacent or give up what their consciences truly know to be the better way..........
Sandra BlakleyJanuary 13, 2014
Truly what goes down in UT will tremendously affect how the rest of the nation goes. Opponents know this and thus are working hard to bring down traditional marriage here. We need to speak out and stand our ground or our children's children will suffer the consequences. Traditional marriage is the foundation and strength of America. Families are where values are taught. This battle is just one more effort by the enemy to destroy America.

Every day you have the ability to make Right Choices or say nothing and give implicit approval. Marriage between people is to give legitimacy to the children, it is ordained by God and recognized by man. The natural family consists of a Father (husband) a Mother (wife) and their child(ren) any other relationship is not a marriage. Marriage between a man and a woman was upheld by the Supreme Court in the 1800's as the law of the land. They did not feel a need to state Man and Woman because it was recognized as a natural law! Today those whom want to destroy the family started in the early 60's with a "war on poverty" and have continued to today with same sex marriage. There are indications that they will continue working on the destruction of the natural family until they have made the natural family seem unnatural. My Grandfather grew up in the Gay 90's (1890's. I placed the parentheses to ensure that somebody did not think he was homosexual.) See what has happened to the definition of the word GAY over the past 50 or so years. They are trying to make right wrong and wrong right. Unless we stand up and say no more we are backing them and the plan we originally refused to accept. The choice is yours!

Federal should not override State law. Constitution was designed to keep government out of our homes and to allow a free exercise of religion. God given laws always trump man made laws.

Traditional marriage is the only marriage from which children can naturally be brought into the world. Whether you believe in evolution or God it should be obvious that the intended environment for children, the future of civilization, to be raised in is by a man and a woman committed to each other and their family.

Today those whom want to destroy the family started in the early 60's with a "war on poverty" and have continued to today with same sex marriage. There are indications that they will continue working on the destruction of the natural family until they have made the natural family seem unnatural. My Grandfather grew up in the Gay 90's (1890's. I placed the parentheses to ensure that somebody did not think he was homosexual.) See what has happened to the definition of the word GAY over the past 50 or so years. They are trying to make right wrong and wrong right. Unless we stand up and say no more we are backing them and the plan we originally refused to accept. The choice is yours!

I haven't protested the ruling because standing up for marriage is labeled as hate, but I am extremely saddened by and against the ruling.

Our nation can not progress without the basic unit of society, the traditional family.

We were married in the Salt Lake Temple in June 1975. We can envision the next step for the "politically correct" assault on traditional marriage as demanding performing same sex marriages in the temple. We say no to that atrocious possibility and no way to that activist federal judge who started this mess.

Of course, this is the only proper way to have life. We are proud of Meridian Magazine for having this petition available for signature and pray that the courts do no longer go against the Bible

A man and a woman, period!

Save traditional marriage

God instituted marriage between woman and man. Let no man change what God has instituted.

Yes, I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman and is critical to the well being of the nation.

The church and state shall remain separate, so leave marriage, a sacred rite of the the church, and legalize all rights for civil unions! end this travesty in our nation.

Federal should not override State law. Constitution was designed to keep government out of our homes and to allow a free exercise of religion. God given laws always trump man made laws. Marriage is ordained of God. It is designed to create eternal families. Same sex marriages can not procreate, and are not the natural order of things.

Is it really about rights or beliefs? Why are the beliefs of secularist more valid? Why do same-sex couples really want marriage rights?

Man's law willl not change Gods law.

I support and stand for traditional marriage as being between a man and a woman and is central to the happiness and well-being of our nation, states, and communities!

WHY DO MEN CREATED BY GOD WANT TO MAKE LEGAL WHAT THEIR CREATOR HAS MADE ILLEGAL?
Joshua WattsJanuary 13, 2014
Traditional marriage is the only marriage from which children can naturally be brought into the world. Whether you believe in evolution or God it should be obvious that the intended environment for children, the future of civilization, to be raised in is by a man and a woman committed to each other and their family.
