OKLAHOMA CITY -By Michael Konopasek

State lawmakers are considering throwing out marriage in Oklahoma.

 

The idea stems from a bill filed by Rep. Mike Turner (R-Edmond). Turner says it's an attempt to keep same-sex marriage illegal in Oklahoma while satisfying the U.S. Constitution. Critics are calling it a political stunt while supporters say it's what Oklahomans want.

"[My constituents are] willing to have that discussion about whether marriage needs to be regulated by the state at all," Turner said.

Other conservative lawmakers feel the same way, according to Turner.

"Would it be realistic for the State of Oklahoma to say, ‘We're not going to do marriage period,'" asked News 9's Michael Konopasek.

"That would definitely be a realistic opportunity, and it's something that would be part of the discussion," Turner answered.

WOW

I think this may be a good idea.  It is not the banning of marriages as the ACLU representative states, but the lack of a state sanction or license.  This would effectively eliminate the state being embroiled in sanctioning "gay" marriages.  Marriages would be sanctioned and recognized by individual churches.  The ideas of property and succession can be accomplished by simple legals filings and wills.  The gay lobby opposes it for it effectively ends state sanction of their "unions" and stops their agenda in its tracks.

I agree Michael.  When I read it I thought it was ingenious.  A very good way to get out from under the sicko homo marriage agenda.
