This is a state's rights issue. I am steadfastly dead-set against both gay marriage and abortion but it should be left up to the states to decide.

Okay, and how do you plan to deal with gay couples going from states that support gay marriage to states that do not? This is not like concealed carry or who can have a stun gun. This is all about forcing homosexuality on states that don’t want it. This is different because no other issue is being used in such a way. You don’t have people moving to other states that don’t have concealed carry to try to force the new state to allow CC. You don’t have people doing this with any other issue. And this is an extremely core issue about what family is. It is one of the three pillars society is built upon. Family, Human Government, and Religion.

I am against bloated federal government extending its power but this IS an issue that should be dealt with at the federal level. If it can be dealt with by a constitutional amendment the hundreds of individual conflicting state and federal lawsuits can be avoided and not even get off the ground. Their strategy is to get victories wherever they can and continue to expand victories based on prior rulings. They are hoping the fight is long because it gives them jobs and they can beg other liberals for money to keep going and hope that decent people get tired of it and enough of us get generally sick about it to cave in.
