[font size=5]Texas GOP lawmaker: What is going on in Baltimore is because of too many gay marriages[/font]
[font size=4]R[/font]epublican U.S. House Representative Bill Flores of Texas argued this week that violence in Baltimore could be linked to the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States.
On the Wednesday edition of the Family Research Councils Washington Watch radio program, Flores told FRC President Tony Perkins that crowds of conservatives were showing up at the U.S. Supreme Court to urge justices to support the rights of tradition marriage.
Perkins suggested that the government was just creating more problems for itself as courts throughout the nation continued to rule that LGBT people should have equal marriage rights.
