But that's the issue at hand here timalkin. Weather or not it is legal or even constitutional for the state or federal govt to decide what marriage is, how its defined or who it applies to. Its easy to say "Gay people can get married...as long as they marry a member of the opposite sex" but that simply doesn't reflect the reality of the situation, which is why its being examined to the point that it is today.
If two American citizens, both adults want to enter into the contract of marriage and do so willingly should the govt be able to deny them that based on nothing more then the definition of a word or old traditions? Or if no other compelling reason can be cited does the govt have a responsibility to ensure its citizens are allowed to pursue marriage (and ultimately decisions about their own lives) on their own terms?
