You can’t approach it that way politically. Morally of course. But that is why we live in a free country. Everyone is entitled to their own morals and beliefs. The Constitution simply limits the power of the feds who have NO legitimate, constitutional say in the matter.
Marriage is a states’ and local issue. A free society must let the local state republican/representative form of government decide on marriage based on the wishes of the people of the state.
An BTW, generally, states, before the feds’ interference, were for the Bible and prayer in public schools, against abortion, and against gay marriage. And if you need to you can always move to a state closer to your beliefs. Tyranny is when the feds unconstitutionally force THEIR morals and beliefs on the rest of us.
> “Marriage is a states’ and local issue.”
As of today, January 29, 2016, the above is not the case.
Anthony Kennedy, a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, appointed by Ronald Reagan after he had craftily lied about his views of the judiciary, decided last year that marriage is a federal issue.
You’re living in the Constitutional era when in ***fact*** you are in denial that we are living in the post-Constitutional era.
In theory, a Constitutional era can be resurrected but Washington DC will never amend the Constitution to define marriage. Only the states via Article V of the Constitution can have the will to amend the Constitution to define marriage, or in the alternative, a better lasting solution, to create by amendment a 30-state quash authority to void and nullify any action, ruling or directive of the federal government.
