I'm not "in favor" of same sex marriage. I'm simply not against it.

I don't care what other people do, as long as it doesn't infringe on my rights. And I will never understand why anyone else wouldn't feel the same way.

Anyone who wants to be against same sex marriage is fine with me, even though I can't understand their reasons.

But I didn't intend this thread to be a debate about whether or not we should allow it. My question is

"Do we need a constitutional amendment to prevent it?"

Shouldn't this be something that the individual states decide for themselves?

Isn't Bush trying to make a political issue out of something that in the grand scheme of things is relatively unimportant?

Isn't he pandering to the extreme conservatives and the religious right?
