A far right nationalist group is seeking to join the Michigan State
Government’s efforts to defend that state’s ban on same-sex couples
marrying but the government would rather not have their help.
The Traditionalist Youth Network has filed an amicus curiae, or friend of the court, brief with the Sixth Circuit of the US Court of Appeals which is hearing Michigan’s appeal to the striking down of it ban on same-sex marriage.
The group claims that same-sex marriage is an ‘affront to the health, safety, morals, and public welfare of the residents of the State of Michigan.’
The group claims that this is why the Western and American legal systems traditionally outlawed homosexuality, ‘for thousands and hundreds of years.’
However Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette has called their legal brief rubbish despite the fact that he is fighting to retain his state’s ban on gay marriage.
‘There is no place in this discussion for derogatory language, and anything like it will be completely disregarded by the Department of Attorney General,’ Schuette said in a statement issued Friday.
'The Sixth Circuit should use this brief to line a birdcage, because that’s all it’s good for.'
The Traditionalist Youth Network was founded by Matthew Heimbach who is the former president of the Towson University White Student Union – although the group claims that it is open to having members of all races.
