Moore presided as Chief Justice the same time as [[Homosexual marriage|homosexual "marriage"]] was being "legalized" across the nation via judicial fiat and corruption. A federal judge had illegally ruled Alabama's gay marriage ban "unconstitutional", and its "legalization" was set to take effect on February 9, 2015.

On May 7, 2016, Moore was illegally suspended from the bench by the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission for continuing to uphold Alabama law—which, despite the illegal claims otherwise by the five liberal judges of the [[United States Supreme Court]], outlaws [[same-sex marriage|same-sex "marriage"]] and is still in effect. His suspension was based upon the filing of frivolous complaints filed by [[leftist]] hate group and [[terrorism]]-enabler the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] and a number of other [[homosexual agenda]]-supporting groups and individuals who support the illegal imposition of same-sex "marriage" by the US Supreme Court—via the unconstitutional ''[[Obergefell v.

On September 30, 2016, Alabama's Court of the Judiciary, which also chose to ignore Alabama law like the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission before it, illegally acted to suspend Moore for the remainder of his term, which ends in 2019, without pay.<ref>[http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/traditional-marriage-hero-roy-moore-removed-from-office/ Traditional marriage hero Roy Moore removed from office] at WND</ref><ref>Berman, Mark (September 30, 2016).
