How could marriage not be a Federal issue if each state is forced to recognize marriages from other states?
Exactly!
There is only one way to deal with this and that is to remove Government from the situation entirely. It’s none of their business how consenting adults chose to order their lives. There’s no good reason for it in the tax code or anywhere else for that matter.
Marriage should be between the participants and the church of their choice. Anything else can be handled by contract lawyers.
They aren't. A same-sex couple married in Massachusetts can't move to Nebraska and file a joint return. And I'd prefer that the feds stay out of it. While now DOMA says that marriage is between a man and a woman it only takes a bad election or two before Congress might decide a marriage is also between a man and a man or a woman and a woman. Should that happen, I don't want them to force my state to recognize it. If Massachusetts wants to recognize same-sex marriage then let them. We don't, and aren't about to. I won't tell them what to do and they don't tell us what to do.
Which article and section of the Constitution do you think gives the feds that right?
same as driver licenses. fedgov doesn’t set standards. may ask for certain things but states determine state id information.

Its quite simple, what Massachusetts is licencing is not marriage no matter what label Massachusetts wants to slap on it.
Texas has no equivalent licence to extend. Of course if Texas did that licence too would not signify or enable marriage.
A marriage is and can only ever be a union between 1 man and 1 woman. Never let anyone pass marriage off as anything else in front of you. Let them call you a “bigot” or what ever other contrived term the left wants to come up with, You have thousands of years of western history and Biological proof to back you up.
If you want to call theses left-tards something call them sheep who blindly follow what other tell them with nether reason nor tredtition to justify their acts.
Balzac, George. The Constitution didn't mention thermonuclear weapons, either. Will you argue that constitutional silence, to remove those weapons to the States' armories?

Which is precisely, Evan Wolfson of Lambda Legal said in 2001, the way the Movement pervs and their 600 gay lawyers intend to attack the institution of marriage before the Supreme Court.
The complaint will be, is, a claim of discrimination under the Full Faith and Credit Clause (Article IV) by States that do not recognize perverted antimarriage as a "sacrament" equal to matrimony.
My homo-shackup is equal to your 75-year marriage .... which by the way is a nullity.
Gays are just attacking the obvious evidences of their own perversity, again, and trying to eliminate the moral observances of others from the known universe.
