“...but that states should make the final decision- which is wrong I believe.”

States DO determine the definition of marriage. Texas has always recognized male/female marriage and that’s it. However, to make it plainer, a few years ago an amendment was made to our Texas Constitution that marriage is between a man and woman. Gay marriages are not recognized as legal in Texas.

That’s fine, they are simply upholding the holy matrimony that the church does, and they are reinterpreting it- however, when states step in and change the institution of marriage, then I’m not ok with that
