No, I didn't forget the 14th Amendment. I fully well realize realize what it says and I fully well realize what it means. Now, with that being said, I might be wrong, but I distinctly remember a series of states taking votes regarding a ban on gay marriages, all of which passed resoundingly (I believe this was back in 2004).
I haven't kept up too much with recent activities, but unless those laws were revoked, then doesn't that show that states can indeed pass bans on gay marriage?
