For those to whom it is not obvious, the secular purpose of marriage is solely to provide protection to mothers and children. Two abled-bodied men have no reason getting any special state benefits regardless of what there living arrangments are.

Again, very cute and all, but this still has yet to negate the guarantee of Equal Protection. May I suggest an amendment? Watching all of you "conservatives" try to amend the Constitution without Congress or the states is really funny.

Amendment #28?
"... nor to deny any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws. Except for men and women in the case of marriage."

Apparently we will not convince those in our society who have chose to cut themselves loose from all foundational moorings. They've lost sight of liberty in law. These are not conservatives - they are libertines. I'll leave them to their campaigns to eliminate stoplights and street signs.
