LaVar Christensen

LaVar, and attorney and former Representative to the Utah State Legislature,  is now speaking to us at the Eagle Forum Convention in Sandy, Utah. His sincerity is tangible.  He begins with where we are, in a place where there is seldom any reference in Connecticut, California, and Massachusetts to the fact that most states have created laws to protect the definition of marriage in their sate.  They ignore the 200 years of precedent in family law and our society.  He remarks,

As we sing, as we pray, it’s important to remember the context of the current marriage debate. . . .

How did we ever arrive at a place where a President puts his hand on the Bible to take the oath, but isn’t as free to open and quote from it.

The marriage debate is the single most important topic today.  Frances Grund, a contemporary of Tocqueville who published commentary on American life. He was so impressed with domestic virtue of American people and saw the connection between that virtue and their ability to govern themselves. He then made this powerful, astute comment.

Change the domestic habits of Americans, their level of morality, . . . and you will have changed the Constitution without change a single word of it.

Equality Bill have 6 bills proposed bills on the docket for the Utah legislature.

Here’s the chilling thought. Go to page 34-36 of the opinion of California. What you find is a list of legislation passed in California statute by statute rights for gays, after which, the Supreme Court already said they had gained the status of marriage. Those individual bills in California:

statewide domestic registry

health benefits

wrongful deaths

and more

These are the same bills proposed by Equality Utah now.

These are not spontaneous bills originating in Utah; they are right out of the California playbook.

Obama supports repealing the DOMA act in California. That’s what we are dealing with.

Relies on plurality of liberal state court judges… rather than acknowledging that individual states can vote on these issues.
