Absolutely correct. It was legalized in a handful of states by legislative action. It was forced on the rest by jack-booted judicial fiat, including North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
- The duly elected state legislature added the definition of marriage to state law, signed by the Governor.
- The people were allowed to weigh in on a constitutional amendment referendum, which was approved by over 61% of the voters as between one man and one woman.
- It was bolstered by strong bi-partisan majorities of both houses of the U.S. Congress in passage of the Defense of Marriage Act, signed by a Democratic president.
And they have the gall to say that it was "legalized." What a load.
