Right Wing “Christians” Push for Same Sex Marriage Ban in Mountain State of West Virginia

WHEELING – There’s a controversial move underway for a constitutional amendment in West Virginia.
It would define marriage as between one man and one woman.
West Virginia already has a Defense of Marriage Act, passed by the Legislature about ten years ago.
But Jeremy Dys of the Family Policy Council of West Virginia says it’s not strong enough.
He wants a constitutional amendment.
It was no coincidence he visited the area on a Sunday.
Church members are usually a friendly audience for the one-man, one-woman marriage message.
Dys spoke at the Ohio Valley Christian Center on National Road:
“Same sex marriage is a very close reality in WV. Closer than many people think. This is too big of an issue for anyone to decide except the people. Let it go to the people themselves. The Legislature shouldn’t be deciding this. Courts shouldn’t be deciding this. The people of West Virginia should.”
An amendment ballot issue would need a two-thirds vote of the legislature.
