“And the 30 states with such constitutional amendments could repeal those amendments by popular vote.”
They range from MS with 86% in 2004 to SD and CA with 52% in 2006/2008. Some are are probably repealable now, the majority are probably at least 5-10 years away, some even longer.
“But so far I haven’t seen evidence that extending marriage to the 3 or 4 percent who are gay has weakened the institution nearly as much as the much larger number of Americans who get divorced or have children without getting married at all.”
The difference is that the issue of civil divorce and remarriage was never framed as a ‘civil right’, so those faiths that never bought into civil divorce and remarriage were not punished. Same thing with having children out of wedlock. ‘Gay marriage’ is being framed as a civil right, as a tool to punish those faiths who don’t let the state dictate the definition of marriage.
