Again?

"Government, by recognizing and protecting marriage, serves the interests of all."

--George W. Bush

Trying to defeat "gay marriage" once again, a phenomenon that has only happened in a handful of states so far, recognizing maybe, ten thousand marriages. A constitutional amendment on this issue is not needed. If some states want to recognize these unions for state tax and benefits purposes, that is their right as states. The federal government need not recognize it (currently the IRS does not), but why this "nuclear option." States effectively banned interracial marriage for a hundred years without wrecking the constitution. And what if this amendment is passed? Who really gains from this? I can tell you this, it is not going to remove gay people from the United States, nor make them any less vocal.

Do I need to point out that this issue only comes up during an election year?

If they want to end interracial marriage with gay marriage, that's fine. The gays can go live in France. They fuck up society as it is. They're the most perverted shits in society.

not surprisingly, texans voted against gay marriage last year.
