Press Statement on Impending Same-Sex Marriages Starting Tonight in California

California – Tonight at 5:01p.m. (PST) California officials will begin to marry same-sex couples.

“This is a sad day for all those who respect the Rule of Law and our system of government. Judicial activism and the tyranny of four activist judges may rule today in California, but democratic freedom is a powerful force. The people will have the last say, and the people of this country strongly believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, and children deserve a mom and a dad. They will get the last word,” said Kelly Shackelford.

Kelly Shackelford is Chief Counsel for the Liberty Legal Institute (LLI), a legal organization committed to the defense of religious freedoms and First Amendment rights.
