Wouldn't that suck Pathfinder?
Think about that next time you look at your wedding ring (if you're married, I don't know you) and someone told you that it's illegal and your marriage is not recognized anywhere, even though you're a citizen, pay your taxes and go to work everyday just like everyone else, but dont have the same right as everyone else.
How would you feel?

Well...I am not a constitutional expert so I don't know if gays have a constitutional leg to stand on when they demand the right to be married under the law.
You probably know more about this issue being brought before the Federal Supreme Court than I, as I do not know if this issue has been decided by the Supreme Court.
I suspect this issue may never be overcome by the gay community, but it will depend upon the Supreme Courts interpretation of the constitution.
If I were a Christian (which I am not), as the majority of the people of this country profess to be, I would be against it, based upon my understanding of the Christian Bible.
This may be an area where gays are wanting special recognition, as by tradition through out all of history, marriage has generally been, if not always, between couples of the opposite sex.
I for one find homosexuality abhorrent, but I recognize that the sexual preferrences of an adult should be that of the individual.
Yes, I am married and have been for 36 years.
