Great article. My $.02 on this issue: this is not an appropriate issue for a Constitutional amendment; any bill Congress passes should not ban gay marriage in every state, but should give states the power not to recognize marriages performed in other states. That way, the whole thing becomes a community standards issue.

The problem with your proposal (which theoretically isn't bad) is that the "gay" activists and leaders, as well as their handmaidens in the media and elsewhere, have as their stated goal to remake society. They will not be satisfied with bits and pieces. They want the whole dam* pie. They want marriage not because they are into hearts and flowers, but because they want to destroy the very meaning of marriage and family, and to be able to indoctrinate children into the benefits of same sex acts from early childhood.

Sounds radical, you say? These are their stated goals, not my imagination.
