That's not Constitutional governance. In either scenario.

You do know that when our country was first founded, gay sex was illegal. The penalty in Virginia was death. And that Washington court martialed soldiers for it. The guys that wrote the Constitution thought it was a crime.

“You do know that when our country was first founded, gay sex was illegal.”

And was illegal in most states until only about a decade ago. However, was repealed, later in time. That is because of an apathetic public, or an appeasing one. In either case, the problem is with people, not laws.

The problem with unconstitutional laws (unless you change the constitution, like California did until a corrupt judge ILLEGALLY and UNCONSTITUTIONALLY reversed the law), is that eventually someone who disagrees will get power, eventually and the pendulum will swing the other way. If constitutions were followed, all parties pushing a minority agenda on a majority populace (with their own representation), would be stopped in their tracks. These problems stem from overstepping the appropriate legal bounds. Swinging the other way is never going to be the answer. And Morality CAN NEVER be legislated on a people. EVER. It, like communism, has NEVER, EVER worked. IT cannot work, and is not God’s way. He gave a law (two, actually, on which all else hang), if people don’t respect His laws, their not going to respect ones (wo)men make. It’s that simple.
