So if Washington State someday bans straight marriage and allows only gay marriage, that will be constitutional?

Leftists and many Libertarians fail to acknowledge that the Constitution is not the Supreme law of the land but rather it comes under God's law. Our inalienable rights are not granted by the Constitution but rather some of the many are recognized as rights that government is chartered to protect. The Constitution LIMITS government NOT the people.

Homosexual marriage is no more Constitutional than murder is AND heterosexual marriage can no more be banned than murder can be legalized.

Who decides what is God's law? The Southern Baptist Conference? The Pope? The Chief Rabbi of Israel? The United Methodist Church? The Grand Mufti? The Dali Lama?

Different states define "murder" in very different ways. To give you just one example, if you see someone stealing your car from your driveway and you shoot him dead, that is completely legal in some states, manslaughter in others, and first-degree murder in still others. Which of those states are following the Constitution and which are not?
