Get rid of those laws from the 1970's and marriage won't need an "act" to defend it...it will be big enough to take care of itself again. That's not sufficient. We need to seriously reform the divorce laws and put in a constitutional amendment.

The first step in reforming divorce laws is creating a model code of divorce laws for legislators to work with.
Most people do not realize but "the trend" can be used as a legal argumet to support a position in court. An attorney can use Hawaii, Vermont, Mass, CF and now SF can be used to at least argue "the trend" is to homosexual marriage. This is regardless of the truth. (38 Domas with 3 more on the way)
This trend argument is no different that NBC breaking down those 67% opposed to homosexual marraige into two groups in order to obscure the true opposition.
