I wonder what the author thinks is the solution if he is against a constitutional amendment and against same sex marriage? Is there a third option?

No, there is no third option. Marriage in one state has to be recognized by other states. Obviously, lacking an amendment, some states are going to legalize gay marriage.

Perhaps there is a third option. We already have the federal Defense of Marriage Act. I know that some judge will likely attempt to strike it down. But there is a solution to that. In another thread a freeper noted that Article 3 of the Constitution allows Congress to remove laws from judicial review. I looked it up and it looks that way to me. It appears that Congress could simply decide that the Defense of Marriage Act is not subject to appellate action. All that would be required is a simple majority in Congress. Of course, the Democrats would probably attempt to filibuster. One could only hope they would.
