I don't know if someone's already said this, but I thought I'd throw this in. (I didn't have the patience to sit through 10+ pages of solid discourse and juvenile sniping.)
If gay marriage is banned in the US Constitution (an idea that dropped off the radar a few months ago thanks to the November elections) this will be the second time in US history where something has been outright NOT ALLOWED. The first time was the Prohibition of alcohol. And look how that turned out.
I wonder if it bothers anyone else that people were even THINKING about amending the Constitution to take away rights.
