A Very Sordid Wedding Page #5

Mrs. Barnes.

Oh, oh.

Hello, Latrelle.

Well, you've gotta meet the new preacher.

Jimmy Ray! Jimmy Ray, hey!

Jimmy Ray Brewton, he's my nephew,

and he's gonna carry

on now that Cecil has...

has gone on to glory to meet Jesus.

Jimmy Ray, this is Latrelle Williamson.

She's the one I told

you about with the son.

Well, the Good Lord sure did bless you

with beauty, Latrelle.

- Oh. [laughing]

- Did indeed.

Well, now, thank you.

I have a question.

Now that marriage equality

is the law of the land,

how's this revival,

well, gonna change things?

Supreme Court's not the law of this land.

Word of God's the law of this land.

Well, actually, if memory serves me right,

um, that's not exactly true.

The Constitution is the law

of the land, not the Bible.

Separation of Church and state,

um, somethin' we all should

have been taught in school.

She's a feisty one, ain't she?

Indeed she is.

Oh, I could tell you stories.

And I'm sure you already have.

Fact of the matter is,

five liberal justices

and an ungodly Muslim president,

can't take away my...

your biblical and constitutional right

to live according to

your deeply held beliefs.

Well, now, you've lost me,

because as I said, it's the law.

Well, that's true, but

as Christian warriors,

we have to fight for our Lord.

And here's your answer.

We are gonna make Runnels

County a sanctuary county

for the institution of

biblical marriage, one man,

one woman, and to never have a gay marriage

performed in this county.

Ever, ever. We want our rainbow back.

We do, indeed.

And there have been

consequences to the moral decay

of this country caused by

the gays and the acceptance

of their lifestyle, and there will be more.

9/11, AIDS, Obama's

election, Hurricane Katrina.

And Sandy. Oh, and don't

forget that Japanese tsunami.

And fire ants.

- All because of the gays.

- Um.

Well, you know, I consider

myself a God-fearing Christian

but I find it hard to

believe that the gays wield

enough power to control the weather,

and disease, and insects.

Well, allow me to

correct you here, you see,

God has the power to respond

appropriately to immorality.

And it's our responsibility

to protect this county

from his wrath.

Well, things become a little

cloudy and complicated when...

I'm sure you've been

told that my son is gay.

Yes, I have heard that.

And I'm so, so sorry.

That cross must be so

hard for you to carry.

Now you just might need this revival

more than anybody in this town.

Why don't you come by on Friday, Latrelle,

and I promise you that

everything will become...

crystal clear.

Hm.

You know what?

I think I will.

I just can't come right now.
