This morning, James Dobson, Mat Staver, and Rick Scarborough organized a press conference at the National Press club in support of their pledge to refuse to accept any Supreme Court ruling that legalizes gay marriage.
During his remarks, Scarborough declared that marriage equality is an attack on God and dismissed the idea that the majority of Americans support gay marriage by asserting that a majority of Americans once also supported segregation.
“I am not surprised that some recent polls have shown that a majority of Americans now say they approve of same-sex marriage,” he said. “We have heard a steady drum beat for the last decade of a one-sided national discussion on the subject. But there was also a time when the majority of Americans in this country approved of separate restrooms and separate classrooms for black American citizens. The majority often gets it wrong.”
“Marriage can no more include same-sex couples than a rock can fall up,” Scarborough continued. “The court can no more redefine marriage than it can redefine gravity … Today I declare before Heaven, I will no deny God, nor His word to curry any man’s favor. With great caution should anyone indulge the notion that one can change what God has said … To deny the created order is to attack God’s very nature”:
