Opposing gay marriage, but not supporting the amendment. Support for the amendment drops daily.
The majority of Americans may, according to polls, oppose gay marriage, but the majority has been wrong time and time again. That's basic history.
Look at it this way, they want a Constitional Amendment because that will stop any judge, city, municipality or state from challenging them.
That is to say, they know, as with the Texas Sodomy Law case, if the Supreme Court has to look at their laws and weigh them againt Equal Protection, they will lose.
So, basically, the Constitution protects gays and they want to strip that protection away. Is that really what we want to use that document for?
