“If they feel they have so much support, put it on a ballot and let the people vote for or against it. Every time it’s put to the voters, it’s been defeated. The only states that have it are ones where the legislature, all Demorat controlled, have passed it and the Demorat Gubner signed it.”
Minnesota’s pro-marriage amendment failed to pass by popular vote last year, getting 47%. The three states that have recognized ‘gay marriage’ by popular voting process last year are Maine, Maryland, and Washington.
To the state, marriage is whatever judges, pols, or 51% of the voting public thinks it is at any one time. That’s it, that’s all it can ever be to the state, at least in the modern era.

It is my certain belief that the marriage elections in the 4 states were all stolen. The Gaystapo was thoroughly demoralized by the showing in North Carolina's marriage amendment victory that there was no way they would let this happen again, "by any means necessary." They couldn't stomach the thought that in this day and age that they believe has gone completely homo-ingratiating that some state could dare vote against them. It doesn't match the narrative, and so the results had to be changed in typical Leftist fashion.
I think history will discover the corruption in these races.
