It's not just too late; the amendment would be irrelevant given the lawless behavior of America's enemies. The real problem is FedGov ignores the Constitution, and states defer to FedGov even when that entity strays outside the Enumerated Powers. The rulings in favor of gay "marriage" have no basis in the Constitution, so changing that Constitution would not limit their actions. What we need to do is chop FedGov way back - aggressively cut it down to the size authorized by Articles 1-4 of the Constitution.

In addition to that, we must as states, as local governments, within our churches and other groups, and as individuals resist unconstitutional actions by FedGov with such energy that freedom's enemies give up on their current lines of attack. The thugs will give up if it gets too hard. They'll launch a new and different attack, but even changing their mode of attack is a victory if we can deprive them of the current FedGov's power.

Which also means the amendment would be irrelevant if the majority of Americans had any morals. Legislation won't help. Changing hearts and minds will.
