Yeah, it sounds corny, but we don\u2019t care. We do not believe that the government should be telling people what to do in their social life. Consenting adults can make their own decisions in the bedroom. In the courtroom, we believe that the same honor and commitment can be made by couples of the same sex, as couples of the opposite sex. Who the hell is the government to say otherwise?<br><br>It is our obligation to one another to respect our individual choices that our shared freedom provides. However, mutual respect does not mean forced celebration. Too often, there are folks on both extremes, that want to force celebration and compliance in some sort of ideological purity test. If you somehow fail this test, you have become an irredeemable enemy. Life in America is not about whose personal decisions are best, it is about building a free country together despite our differences. We know it is hard work, but since when were Americans afraid of that?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2127\" src=\"https:\/\/usacp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-rakicevic-nenad-233369-769525-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-711\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;width:520px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usacp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-rakicevic-nenad-233369-769525-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/usacp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-rakicevic-nenad-233369-769525-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usacp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-rakicevic-nenad-233369-769525-1024x851.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/usacp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-rakicevic-nenad-233369-769525-768x638.jpg 768w, https:\/\/usacp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-rakicevic-nenad-233369-769525-1536x1276.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/usacp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pexels-rakicevic-nenad-233369-769525-2048x1701.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d58a0413 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-cbe57604 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-top-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent-6);border-top-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Isn&#8217;t America founded as a Christian nation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. The founding fathers meant the United States to be a secular nation.
