Gary Bauer reports in the “American Values” newsletter July 20, 2011: Yesterday, July 19, 2011, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney statement said that President Obama fully supports “the legislative repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act,” and “is proud to support the Respect for Marriage Act.”
It is important to understand exactly what this means. The bill Obama just endorsed would for the first time require the federal government to recognize homosexual marriages by extending tax benefits to two men or two women who file joint tax returns.
More importantly, by repealing the Defense of Marriage Act, the bill demonstrates that libertarians and states’ rights activists are fundamentally wrong when it comes to the marriage issue. The militant homosexual rights movement is seeking a national redefinition of marriage.
It is inconceivable that the country would end up with a system where the status of your marriage changes based upon what state you live in. It is not reasonable to assume that two men “married” in Massachusetts would suddenly become “unmarried” if they moved to Oklahoma or any of the dozens of other states that have adopted marriage protection amendments. Either normal marriage will prevail or we will end up with same-sex “marriage” nationwide.
As we have seen time and time again, liberals are intent on forcing their morality on the rest of society. And because of the advances of the militant homosexual rights movement, polygamists are now going to court to have their alternative lifestyle recognized.
If the radical left get its way, we will be headed down the road to a culture where marriage will include any grouping of any number of individuals and sexes. In short, marriage will mean nothing and more and more children will grow up with, yes, three mommies.

Watchwoman: I note the word “proud” in what is being quoted as Obama’s statement (see paragraph 1) — This is what God says about the proud. The word “proud” appears 48 times in the Holy Bible – KJV. The word “pride” appears 49 times. ▬ Donna Calvin

[Romans 1:27-32] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;[29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,[30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,[31] Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:[32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
[1 Timothy 6:4-5] He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, [5] Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

[James 4:6] But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
