I hear what you are saying, but the fact is, the gay activists are NOT content to just have same-sex marriage allowed in some liberal states. Their eventual goal is 50 state same-sex marriage through court order, not through any legislative process.

I agree. It shows who the real extremists are. Most conservatives I know, even ones who oppose same sex marriage (myself included), are not looking to turn marriage into a federal issue. They (and I) just want to stop the Libs from forcing it on every state by un-democratic means. If Libs in Rhode Island want to be a gay haven and have gay marriage, let them if they can get the votes. But don't force it on other states.

I’d love to see how many of those who want ‘small government’ gay marriage would also be for eliminating all government grants for AIDs research, etc.
