I have to agree here, this is a state issue and should not be molested by the federal government like abortion was.The problem is the "Full Faith and Credit" clause, which would require states that did not approve, or specifically banned gay marriage to accept it.

I have heard that a few times hear and was not aware that the states would be forced to recognize it.
I don't know what to think anymore. On one side I don't want to give those sons a b*tches up in D.C. more power, on the other hand I don't want those sons a b*tches up in Mass. telling me what to do either.

Article. IV. Section. 1. Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
It is strictly in the statutory domain of Congress...
