Jesus is coming back — so Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling doesn’t matter

DINOs in action:

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/new-york-democrat-jesus-is-coming-back-so-supreme-courts-gay-marriage-ruling-doesnt-matter/

A New York state senator says same-sex marriage should be outlawed because it conflicts with his religious beliefs.

Speaking at the third annual March for Marriage in Washington, D.C. in late April, state Sen. Ruben Diaz (D-Bronx) said he was a proud opponent of same-sex marriage.

“I am the only elected official here and I belong to the Democratic Party of New York in New York City, a liberal state, where everybody is liberal, where everybody goes with the liberalism, but me I’m the senator in New York and I keep saying that marriage between man with man is not biblical,” he said, speaking through a translator.

I guess the whole "separation of church and state" thing is not very high on his list of priorities.

Can he somehow be kicked out of the Democratic Party and forced to join the Republicans?
