Frankly, if more people would simply read our foundational documents in context, it would be very clear that social values & moral issues were never supposed to involve the Federal Government. Its role is clearly (and symmetrically) spelled out. It is clear from what rights the States delegated, and what they did not delegate, as well as the specific types of limitations on the Federal Government, as in Article I, Sec.9, that we have fallen down a rabbit hole with a mythical Alice, in the current embrace of an oxymoron definition of marriage.
Rather than wring hands, or insult each other, let us quietly discuss the natural function of sexuality; of all advanced life forms; of what is really essential in normal human psychological, as well as physical development.
Rather than despair, let us reason together, keeping calm & rational.
Under that approach, how long do you think it will be, before many currently misled by a perverse academic & media perspective, begin to ask meaningful questions of those who have misled them.

Oh we’ve read them and it’s very clear that God and morality were a HUGE part of our foundations and the federal government-

It’s precisely because we’ve done that, and NOT fighting the scourge of immorality creeping in) that we’re in this position- NOONE stood up In the early days of the push for ‘homosexual rights’ to state that homosexuality IS a perversion that does NOT deserve constitutional protections anymore than pedophilia does- or bestiality- ALL of which are considered abominations-
By ‘being reasonable’ we’ve allowed homosexuality to be taken off the list of abominations- and now we’re being FORCED to accept this irreligious secularism to trump our universal moral rights and obligations!
Reason? Yep- it’s done us so much ‘good’- so much infact that our supreme court just makes up the constitution as it goes along-
