Why? In virtually every state where homo "marriage" has been put to a plebiscite, it has failed. Even in leftard Minnesota, a bill to amend the state constitution to define marriage as single man/woman failed narrowly. If we had acted in time, it would have passed.
Queer "marriage" is still grossly unpopular, even though it's now legal in a majority of states. It is still not supported by a majority of citizens. If the state legislatures had to vote on an amendment to the Constitution, I suspect a lot of state lawmakers would vote the way The People want.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be an uphill struggle, but it would be worth it. And it's a ditch worth dying in.
At best, support for/opposition to same-sex "marriage" is 50/50 at this point, though that obviously varies geographically. Constitutional amendments tend to get ratified only when there is overwhelming support for the idea. They do not get passed with 50/50 support.
“Why? In virtually every state where homo “marriage” has been put to a plebiscite, it has failed.”
Sure, except of course *the last four*.
Sticking our heads in the sand and pretending a majority of the American people is secretly on our side isn’t helpful. If we can’t acknowledge the basic reality, we have no hope of changing it.
