Christian conservative Mat Staver warns
that allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry could doom Western
civilization.
Staver, who heads the Christian
conservative Liberty Counsel, made his comments in speaking at the
American Decency Association's summer conference.
“Redefining marriage,” Staver, told
the audience, would bring with it consequences.
“It doesn't matter how many opinions
or how many votes you have for that, you can't change God's natural
created order,” said
Staver, a long-time opponent of gay rights.
“We've never been in this situation
before. We will not be able to escape the coercive nature of this
issue. It is cataclysmic in its change effect. It is, I believe,
ultimately the beginning of the end of Western Civilization, if we
adopt this as a country,” he added. (The video is embedded on this
