From Huffington Post:
Trestin Meacham, a 35-year-old Utah man, is allegedly refusing to eat anything until the state nullifies its recent decision to allow same-sex couples to get married.
At the time the above video was released, Meacham had reportedly gone
12 days without food -- surviving only on water and an occasional
vitamin -- and has lost 25 pounds.
“I cannot stand by and do nothing while this evil takes root in my home," the 35-year-old reportedly wrote on his blog.
"Some things in life are worth sacrificing one’s health and even life
if necessary. I am but a man, and do not have the money and power to
make any noticeable influence in our corrupt system. Nevertheless, I can
do something that people in power cannot ignore."
Meacham claims he will fast until Utah decides to nullify the court's decision -- nullification being a theory that the states have authority in all matters, not the federal government. It is a theory that has reportedly been used previously in an attempt to prevent integration in the public school system in the 1950s.
