If the federal government began intervening in legal arrangements between consenting adults, you'd howl like a stuck pig!
It's the status quo, buff, no matter how you try to spin it.
Sorry, but I support a constitutional amendment that would ban marriage btw men and men, and women and women, and would also ban same-sex marriage under any other name, including "civil unions," because people who are granted these "unions" in one state can go to another state and try to get them honored there.
