100 black pastors oppose gay marriage in 6th Circuit Appeals amicus brief

This fight against gay marriage could easily realign American politics; redefining liberal to consist of 'gay marriage' advocates and conservatives as those opposed. The brief filed in this case has found a seam, which properly pursued, opens up many unforeseen political possibilities in 2016 and beyond. "The Christian, conservative Thomas More Law Center filed an amicus brief in Michigan's gay marriage trial Wednesday on behalf of 110 black pastors from Detroit, elsewhere in Michigan, and Ohio." That alone should be enough to wake up the savvy. "The state's ban on gay marriage was overturned in March by U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman, but the ruling was put on hold as the case is considered by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals". This is a hot-button issue involving human progeny itself.
