You've got it backwards. This Amendment is designed to counter the social engineering being attempted by the left. Redefining the traditional family and marriage is some of the worst social engineering possible. The well-financed and organized gay activists are shopping the most liberal state courts and judges in order to find the best venue to enact through legal precedent the social engineering that they would never be able to via legislation. This Amendment attempts to protect the core, the fiber of our free society from the latest attempt at social engineering of the left. Please understand that.
I disagree.
The laws seem clear. States can define marriage how they want currently. That is just, and proper.
You are asking for the federal govt to step in, and exert their power, to prevent states from doing what they want. Because of your personal bias against a certain segment of society.
