Four republican candidates sign pledge to void all same-sex marriages

Four Republican Presidential candidates have signed a pledge to void the marriages of thousands of same-sex couples.

The National Organization for Marriage asked all Republican candidates to pledge support for a new constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman, and voiding the thousands of existing same-sex weddings across all 50 states, alongside asking them to “prevent the promotion of a redefined version of marriage in public schools,” and protect “the right of organizations and individuals” who disagree with same-sex marriage.

So, basically it asked them to take away our human rights, pretend we don’t exist, and then discriminate against us when we do walk through their door. Classy.

Normally, shock and awe would follow if any of the candidates signed a petition so homophobic and ridiculous, but the Republican candidates are so out of touch that nothing really surprises us anymore.

Rick Santorum, Senator Ted Cruz, Dr Ben Carson, and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal all agreed with the group’s mission to strip gay people of their basic rights to marriage and protection from discrimination. Each adding a new level of homophobia to their, already full, resumés.

Carson, who sits second in a field of seventeen, has claimed that equal marriage is a ‘Marxist plot’ and claimed prisons prove being gay is a choice.

Cruz recently attended a “kill the gays” rally and labeled the Planned Parenthood shooter a “transgendered leftist activist.”

Rick Santorum still thinks gay people can be cured, and letting them marry will cause a global crisis.

Jindal is trying to introduce a law in Louisiana explicitly permitting discrimination against same-sex couples.

We have two words for these candidates: Stop immediately.
