I agree in principal with this, but I don't think I could support it. I think that the Constitution exists to tell the government what it cannot do, not to tell citizens what they cannot do.

Thanks, I agree with you 100%

Using the Constitution to put restrictions on what citizens can do would set a VERY dangerous precedent. There are other ways to stop gay "marriage".

The amendment would tell the U.S. government that it could not recognize gay marriage. Pretty simple, really.
