Tennessee lawmakers promised some sort of
legislative response after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage legal
for every state in the country.
On Thursday two state Republican
lawmakers unveiled their answer: a bill that they believe voids the Supreme
Court decision and continues to define marriage under Tennessee law as a union
between a man and a woman.
"Natural marriage between one (1)
man and one (1) woman as recognized by the people of
Tennessee remains the law in Tennessee,
regardless of any court decision to the contrary," the bill
states.
"Any court decision purporting to
strike down natural marriage, including (a recent U.S. Supreme
Court decision), is unauthoritative,
void, and of no effect."
