Ala. Chief Justice Roy Moore Comes Undone After Gay Marriage Ruling
Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who has vehemently opposed same-sex marriage in his state, broke down over the weekend after the Supreme Court ruled that gay couples have the right to marry.
"Just who do they think they are when one person can reverse 200-and-something years of precedent in our country and thousands of years of precedent in western civilization," Moore said on Sunday while speaking at the Kimberly Church of God's "God and Country Day," according to the Associated Press.
The justice warned that ruling could infringe upon the religious freedoms of Christians in the U.S. "Welcome to the new world. It's just changed for you Christians. You are going to be persecuted according to the U.S Supreme Court dissents," he said.
"Is there such a thing as morality anymore?" Moore continued. "Sodomy for centuries was declared to be against the laws of nature and nature's God. And now if you say that in public, and I guess I am, am I violating somebody's civil rights? Have we elevated morality to immorality? Do we call good, bad? What are we Christians to do?"

marriage (an optional church ceremony if you want one) and civil marriage (issuance of your license and government, official recognition of our marriage with maybe a secular "ceremony"
are two separate acts from a legal point of view. Legally, the only marriage that counts is the civil marriage -- the issuance of your license.
OK. Many people -- but if this Moore managed to pass a state bar association examination, surely HE should know the difference between religious marriage and the issuance of a marriage license and government recognition of your marriage.
A state supreme court justice????
Oh, well. Alabama. And some DUers from the South are frustrated with the attitudes of other DUers toward the South.
It's this kind of oblivious ignorance that gives Southerners and the South a bad reputation. Sorry. I lived in the South for a time in high school. But this Moore is really stupid, really, really stupid. What a waste of a law school education.
Because they allowed "the sodomy?"
Or maybe these cats want "the sodomy" but fear the smite, and feel envious that the gays are getting preferential treatment because they get to enjoy "the sodomy" without suffering the smite?
And you don't speak for Christians.
It's like listening to a bunch of drunks crying in their beer or something. I'm surprised none of the country singers has decided to write an oh, woe is me, poor persecuted Christian country song to uplift their spirits. 
The ruling doesn't mean they have to have gay marriage. They can still have their straight marriages and shoot out babies every 9 months like so many of them always have. Nothing is stopping them. They make me sick with their incessant whining. Is this going to be something they are still whining about 150 years from now? I have a gut feeling it is. They need to get over themselves.
For Christians such as yourself, Roy, I suggest self-immolation! Go out in a blaze of glory! Take one for the God-JC Team!
...then he should not marry someone of the same sex. Seems like a simple solution to me.
So what's the problem?
No it was gay people who were being persecuted before.
Really?
How about buck the fuck up?
Someone call Roy a whaaaambulance.
Moore later told AL.com that while the order does not prohibit probate judges from issuing gay marriage licenses, they will not be forced to issue the licenses in the next 25 days.
