Ousted Alabama Supreme Court Justice
Roy Moore has said legalizing gay marriage will destroy the United
States.
Moore made his comments during a DeKalb
County Tea Party rally.
“We cannot continue to borrow the
future of our children and our grandchildren or we will suffer the
consequences. We can't keep going into debt. We can't keep
disparaging our military and promoting things like same-sex marriage,
L.G.B.T. To hear the President of the United States say that we are
promoting L.G.B.T. Let's think about what that is: lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender rights,” Moore
said.
“Same-sex marriage will be the
ultimate destruction of our country because it destroys the very
foundation upon which this nation is based. Divisive, I've been
accused of being divisive. I'll tell you what's divisive. It's the
Democratic platform.”
Democrats meeting in Charleston, North
Carolina last month for the first time approved a marriage equality
plank in their platform.
Moore was removed from the bench in
2003 for refusing to remove from public property a monument of the
Ten Commandments that he had commissioned. He is currently
campaigning to regain the office of chief justice.
