As I asked before and you have not answered do the words “pursuit of happiness” mean that gay marriage should be legal? Sounds like it to me based on your assumptions. Do you think now that the Supreme Court was correct in handing down a decision forcing all 50 states to recognize gay marriage? Misinterpretations can cut both ways.
There is little doubt that abortion and gay marriage are issues for each state to decide.
States' rights and powers do not supersede the laws of nature and nature's God, nor are they superior to the explicit equal protection requirements of the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the United States.
