Attack on Marriage Increases: 3 States Change Definition

The liberal strongholds of California and Colorado have voted to remove traditional marriage definitions from their constitutions.

Apparently, they think they know better than God.

In Colorado, 63% supported this change, despite opposition from local Christians.

Meanwhile, Hawaii is on track to repeal its own amendment, with 56% of votes in favor.

Though the outcome of is uncertain at the moment.

With the wording removed, this would open the door for what kind of couples to get married now?

National Catholic Register reports:

California and Colorado voted to repeal amendments that defined marriage as between a man and a woman, while Hawaii is on track to repeal its traditional definition of marriage, though it has not yet been called.

The state constitutions of California, Colorado, and Hawaii defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman, but the results of these measures on the 2024 election ballots are set to remove this traditional definition.

The removal of the long-standing language on marriage is largely symbolic since the U.S. Supreme Court already legalized same-sex marriage in all U.S. jurisdictions in its 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision. Nonetheless, in 2020, Nevada became the first state to repeal its constitutional provision defining marriage as between a man and a woman. California, Colorado, and Hawaii joined the ranks this year, removing the definition.

Colorado
In a roughly 63% to 36% vote, Colorado removed language from its constitution that recognized marriage as “only a union of one man and one woman.”

The Colorado bishops made a statement opposing the “Protecting the Freedom to Marry” or Amendment J earlier this year, saying that it was “imperative” for faithful Catholics to oppose the amendment as well as a pro-abortion amendment that would enshrine abortion as a right in the state’s constitution.

The main proponent of Amendment J, Freedom to Marry Colorado, raised more than $760,000 and spent less than $600,000 of it. State Rep. Scott Bottoms and the Colorado bishops voiced opposition to the measure, but there was no organized campaign opposing the measure, according to Ballotpedia.

California
Californians overwhelmingly supported removing the state’s traditional definition of marriage from the constitution in a 61% to 38% vote. The amendment not only removed the definition of marriage, like Colorado’s, but also added the “right to marry” as a “fundamental right” in the state’s constitution.

Hawaii

While Hawaii has not yet called the results of its marriage amendment, the state is on track to repeal the Legislature’s power to limit marriage to one man and one woman. Though it is the closest of the three states, Amendment 1 is still more than 10 points ahead, according to the New York Times.

Of the 76% of votes counted in Hawaii, about 56% voted yes for Amendment 1, while about 43% voted no. In Hawaii, blank votes are considered no votes. The amendment needs 51% to pass.

There’s a reason we’re against homosexual marriage.

Besides going against the Bible, it opens the door for them to adopt…

And why is it a trend that they seem to adopt 2 at a time?
