Montana's Senate Judiciary Committee voted to table a resolution that aimed to declare the 2015 Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality unconstitutional. The resolution, introduced by Republican Senator Rob Phalen, was opposed by some members from both parties. Numerous attendees spoke against the measure, including Democratic Rep. Zooey Zephyr, who shared a personal story about her own wedding, emphasizing the emotional significance of marriage. The discussion highlighted tensions over the future of marriage equality, following previous comments from Justice Clarence Thomas regarding revisiting past rulings.
When the 'I do's' happened and we kissed, my 9-year old stepson said that moment was the happiest he ever was, because that was the moment I became his stepmom for real.
This resolution goes against the fundamental principles of equality and love that our nation was built upon.
