More than 150 years ago, the delegates in the 1856 Republican Party Convention made a point to protect the people of the United States from the woes that can result from same-sex marriage.

no they didnt...
it was “from the woes that can result from” the evils of POLYGAMY which by 1862 or before was a jailable crime known as “unlawful habitation”
there was no lobby for “same-sex marriage” in 1856 and sex between men was a felonious crime thus the people were already “protected”....
France finally got around to banning incest a few years ago
