Again, cam, -- you want to discuss the side issues, not the main one.
-- Why do you feel it is necessary to amend our Constitution to placate a bunch of gays? -- Why not just change some tax codes & insurance regulations, & give them their paper 'license' to marry?
Why should government & society care what the gays call their civil living arrangements?

The reason it is necessary is because there is a push by unelected judges to rewrite state constitutions and state laws in order to placate the homosexual lobby.

You are hyping the issue. --- Judges cannot "rewite" laws or Constitutions. -- They only write opinions, deciding the case in question.
Legislatures are free to rewrite the questioned laws, and executives are free to enforce, or ~not~ enforce the judicial decisions on the legislatures laws. --- This process is called checks & balances in a free republic.

Codifying this in the Constitution will prevent the courts from doing this

Attempting to short circuit our judicial system is repugnant to our Constitutional principles, outlaw.. -- Do you care?

as well as recognize the important of a stable family life in the maintenance of the republic.

We can safeguard families without amending our Constitution.

A better solution would be to rein in the courts. If you have a practical way of accomplishing this, I'm all ears.

Our entire government system needs reining in. I suggest we start by demanding they conform to our existing Constitution.
--- Which is hard to accomplish when so many like you insist that it must be amended.

There is nothing wrong with our Constitution. There is everything wrong with our political system.

Preventing the judicial branch from usurping its authority is essential to our Constitutional principles. Do you care?
