We might as well go all in on the homo issue and start a movement to draft a Constitutional amendment defining it a monogamous and heterosexual. It would take 38 states to ratify such an amendment and there are already 34 with laws or state constitutional amendments prohibiting homos from marrying. With off-year elections coming up, I have no doubt we could get the legislatures in an additional 4 states to ratify. Then we can put an end to this abominable farce once and for all.

You're presuming that all 34 would vote for your amendment.

Given California's trending, the most recent vote in Minnesota (which is one of your 34 but wouldn't even amend its own constitution after that) and the general polling nationwide, that's a pretty silly presumption to make. If you can't even hold on to the 34 we "have", how will you possibly get to 38?

No, I'm afraid our window has closed. I doubt we could even get many of those existing laws passed today, much less a Constitutional Amendment.

We’ll never know unless we try. Considering what’s at stake, it’s worth the fight.
