I tend to be a libertarian myself, I think we are having too much of an emotional, knee-jerk reaction here. I see his position as more neutral, the Feds should not be involved in marriage at all, pro or con, they are there to do what is Constitutional. I do believe the answer our Founding Fathers would give is, leave it to the States if there is to be government involvement at all. The States reflect the temperment of the people who live there, you might have more "gay friendly States," other more "religiously friendly" and so on. I think we have much, much bigger problems than this like the economy, an unAmerican president, jobs, some mullah sending over an ICBM ruining our day and so on.
That said I do say the gay lobby goes a bit far at times and they shoot themselves in the leg. They need to learn to keep it in their homes like we all do, if they did that as we all should, there would not be much rancor.
Government should be out of marriage with the exception of determine who is responsible for who like for inheritance and medical consent. Let it up to the ministers and churches. Then they would have the power to tell them to either "go fly a kite" or marry them as their conscience seems fit. I know I get a lot of trouble taking my neutral position here but we have bigger fish to fry.
