I'm not even all that passionate an opponent of gay marriage, but I can't think of any other way to prevent 'public servants' from making up the law.

The problem is elected officials and judges making up the law as they go, and that can't be solved with this Constitutional Amendment. Maybe you should think about how you could create a Constitutional Amendment that would prevent them from making up the law, rather than an amendment to ban this one thing (gay marriage).

No, I'm convinced this one is worthy on its own, not specifically because of the 'gay' part, but the 'marriage' part. If we allow any state to define marriage around terms other than procreation, I guarantee you polygamy will be the next issue - with much more justification than gay marriage, since it's legal in many places, has a long tradition, and is arguably a religious practice.

The Gay Amendment will allow gays to marry as long as they surrender their citizenship and leave the country forever.
