Today, Mat Staver is in a Florida Keys’ court intervening in the second challenge to Florida’s Marriage Protection Amendment, Huntsman v. Heavlin. 

Memorializing the natural definition of marriage into our law is not sexual discrimination, any more than requiring young people to wait until they are 16 before they can engage in intimate sexual relations is age discrimination. Both are about protecting children and society. Laws that single out those who want to engage in a harmful behavior, like drug laws that discriminate against heroine users, are not  unlawful discrimination but rather compassionate public policy.

Far from promoting unequal treatment of the sexes or unlawful discrimination, marriage as the union of one man and one woman acknowledges the inherent complementarity of the sexes and provides the best environment for children to be raised with a mom and a dad.

Liberty Counsel is carrying the weight of defending the Florida Marriage Amendment. Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is giving only window dressing to the Florida Marriage Amendment.  Bondi sent one of her staff attorneys to argue the case against the constitutional amendment, and her office filed a short, 14-page brief only a week before the court date.

Mat Staver called on Governor Rick Scott to get off the sidelines and appoint an independent counsel who can adequately represent the people of Florida.

Please pray that the courts uphold the Florida Marriage Protection Act.
