Justice Clarence Thomas has openly stated that the Supreme Court should reconsider contraception & gay marriage rulings.
Clarence Thomas mentions Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell as examples of rulings that could be reconsidered.
What does the US Code say about marriage?
1 U.S. Code § 7 – Definition of “marriage” and “spouse”
In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word “marriage” means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word “spouse” refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.
(Added Pub. L. 104–199, § 3(a), Sept. 21, 1996, 110 Stat. 2419.)

How does this affect Lakeland?
It will show Lakelanders that Mayor Mutz does not know the US Codes and laws! He is ignorant and has no business running this city.
Marriage is only recognized between a MAN & WOMAN. Mayor Mutz wants people to vote for him so he can continue destroying Lakeland for his financial gains.
“In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” Thomas wrote in his concurring opinion. “Because any substantive due process decision is “demonstrably erroneous,” […] we have a duty to “correct the error” established in those precedents.”
5 Years After Marriage Equality Ruling, Florida Law Still Says Man And Woman!
741.212 Marriages between persons of the same sex.—
(1) Marriages between persons of the same sex entered into in any jurisdiction, whether within or outside the State of Florida, the United States, or any other jurisdiction, either domestic or foreign, or any other place or location, or relationships between persons of the same sex which are treated as marriages in any jurisdiction, whether within or outside the State of Florida, the United States, or any other jurisdiction, either domestic or foreign, or any other place or location, ARE NOT RECOGNIZED FOR ANY PURPOSE IN THIS STATE.
(2) The state, its agencies, and its political subdivisions may not give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any state, territory, possession, or tribe of the United States or of any other jurisdiction, either domestic or foreign, or any other place or location respecting either a marriage or relationship not recognized under subsection (1) or a claim arising from such a marriage or relationship.
(3) For purposes of interpreting any state statute or rule, the term “marriage” means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the term “spouse” applies only to a member of such a union.
This is how you set the record straight on gay marriage and overturn gay marriage! Thank you Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and The State of Florida for showing Lakelanders the TRUTH!

Finally FACTS to prove that Gay Marriage is NOT RECOGNIZED IN FLORIDA! Lakeland needs to WAKE-UP TO THIS WOKE IDEOLOGY! God does not condone homosexuality and neither does Florida! Being a homosexual is from the devil. Facts matter. Go to the Bible and go to God! Do not go to a gay church which is blasphemy!
The law is the law!!! Gay marriage not recognized!
Mutz is just a clown. He makes a proclamation over the guys and they aren’t even recognized by the State of Florida! The guys are clueless and are only 2% of the overall US population. The government tries to push this ungodly lifestyle onto us, the CHRISTIANS. I am sick of it! Mutz needs to step down now! I demand the mail in ballots be checked because his win smells like election fraud!
Email [email protected] and tell him how SICK he is for applauding and recognizing the gay community who are damaged pedophiles and groomers! They all have a twisted past of abuse! No one is born gay either!
