"DOMA passed Congress by a vote of 85-14 in the Senate and a vote of 342-67 in the House. Also, at an average rate of 67.5%, voters in U.S. states have gone 31-for-31 in their efforts to ban gay marriage. (Thirty states have passed constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage.)"

The language used here is unfortunate because it is incorrect. No legislation has "banned" anything; the existing true definition of marriage has merely been recognized and codified into law. "gay marriage" hasn't been banned any more than plural marriage, or child marriage, or incestuous marriage has been "banned." We willfully walk on putrid ground when we borrow the false jargon of the anarchist left.

A good point, and you are absolutely right! I suppose the author of the article referred to the effective consequence of the states' amendments, but it would be better if he used the actual language of the law rather than mass media spin / redefinition. Hopefully the author will correct this important "nuance" in his future writings.
