MARK ROBINSON WILL FURTHER DIVIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF TRUMP AND HE DOES NOT HAVE MY VOTE
Mark Robinson would ban same-sex marriage and reshape how public schoolchildren are taught.
Asked if he’d support a law defining marriage as between one man and one woman, Robinson replied, “Personally, do I believe that? Yes. Do I think that a strong and healthy debate should go into that to make it the law? Absolutely.”
He believes Christians are “called to be led by men” and that women have failed in their efforts to talk him “into submission,” despite two of the most influential people in his life being women, his wife, and his late mother.
He routinely chastises the LGBTQ community but insists he’d defend their rights as the state’s top Republican executive officeholder.
“My views on homosexuality or LGBTQ things, those things are personal,” Robinson said. “My religious perspective on those things is guaranteed to me under the First Amendment. I would say to anybody, ‘When my personal religious opinions cross over into my office and cross over into legislation or law that violates someone’s constitutional right, that is when we should have an issue.’”
“You can’t just say, ‘I have an extreme view, but it doesn’t affect my job,’” said Josh Stein, North Carolina’s Democratic attorney general who is seen as the likely opponent to Robinson in a possible 2024 governor’s race. “I mean, what we do as public officials is execute on those positions and we advocate for them. He’s drawing this distinction that is not real.”
Conservatives further see Robinson’s anti-LGBTQ views as a political liability.
Kyle Luebke, president of the North Carolina chapter of Log Cabin Republicans, a group of LGBTQ conservatives, said Robinson is “just behind the times.” He cited a bipartisan effort in the U.S. Senate to pass legislation that legalizes same-sex marriage and said Robinson’s views are out of step with GOP efforts to be more inclusive.
“Any candidate who is going to focus on issues that are divisive, such as trying to relitigate marriage equality, either rhetorically or advocate for a law that does so, is not going to win,” Luebke said.

Robinson’s opinions on gay marriage are far from the only view that’s out of touch with his own party.
If elected as North Carolina’s next governor, he says he’d get behind measures that outlaw abortion in all cases,
Robinson likens abortion to murder, despite paying for one in 1989 for his then-girlfriend and now wife.
Robinson thinks the 20-week ban doesn’t go far enough. He said he wants to make North Carolina the “most pro-life state in the Union” and impose “dire consequences” on doctors who unlawfully perform the medical procedure. “I don’t think abortion should ever happen,” he said.
While Robinson personally opposes abortion in all cases, he said he likely wouldn’t get in the way of a bill that allowed for abortion in cases where a woman’s life is at stake or she is a victim of rape or incest.
His views stem from an abortion he paid for in 1989 for Yolanda Hill, his girlfriend at the time who he’s been married to for more than 32 years. Over the years, he has come to regret the abortion decision.
Robinson’s views are out of step with the state and his own party. Most North Carolinians want abortion laws to stay the same or become less restrictive, according to a WRAL News poll released in June. That poll also found that few Republican adults want to outlaw abortion entirely.

Are Mark Robinsons Controversial Generalizing Remarks in Church Good For Trumps GOP
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IS CRITICAL AND MARK ROBINSON IS A DANGER TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND WILL DESTROY NORTH CAROLINA
The 14th Amendment Solidifies The Separation of Church and State and unless Mark Robinson and others realize this they are a Danger to the Republican Party and Will Destroy North Carolina.
How Can You Claim To Be #AmericaFirst but declare a diverse part of the Republic As “Evil or Hell Bound” Based on Their Sexuality Being Different Than Yours? That’s Generalizing All People For Some of The People Causing The Issue, You Know Who Also Did That? Hitler
Many in The Republican party need to do less concentration on the fringe social hotbed never-ending issues.
Most of their views spit in the wind against our rights as We The People and are in fact unpatriotic, unconstitutional, and certainly not promoting the Republic.
This is destroying the Republican party and its effects are seen as people leave the party to become unaffiliated.
This is another example of the Separation of Church and State that is highly needed to be practiced as it undermines our great experiment which is the melting pot of what makes the United States of America so different and great.
The moment someone feels that their opinion, religion, or motives are best for everyone else without considering the opinions of the rest of our great republic that’s when our nation as it was intended dies.
We are one Nation under God, yet many different religions and daily creeds believe in “God” and our forefathers and signers of this country absolutely did NOT follow one form of religion in this country’s founding. In fact, as I have stated many times, our Constitution gives us the Right of Freedom of Religion and Freedom From Religion (and by history, this means a State ran by Religion)
I understand many will disagree as they will Always place their Religion Before Government, but remember, “Render unto Caesar” is the beginning of a phrase attributed to Jesus in the synoptic gospels, which reads in full, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”
For more info on this overall subject for those that need
The separation of church and state is a philosophical and jurisprudential concept for defining political distance in the relationship between religious organizations and the state.
Although the words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the First Amendment, the establishment clause was intended to separate church from state.
In the 20th century, the U.S. Supreme Court applied the establishment clause to the states through the 14th Amendment. Today, the establishment clause prohibits all levels of government from either advancing or inhibiting religion.
The establishment clause separates church from state, but not religion from politics or public life. Individual citizens are free to bring their religious convictions into the public arena. But the government is prohibited from favoring one religious view over another or even favoring religion over non-religion.
