They should ask the LEGISLATURE. That is where laws are MADE.
Gay activists planned all this years ago. The plan was to get same-sex marriage by court order. They consciously decided to work through the courts rather than through legislatures. Only in the past few years have there been efforts to pass homosexual marriage legislation in a few states.
Their eventual goal is to get homosexual marriage legalized in some states, then go to the Federal courts to overturn the Federal Defense of Marriage Act. That is their goal and they are still at it, even though 27 states now have constitutional amendments defining marriage.
You would have to ask the activists why they never wanted to go through the legislatures, but they decided to force it through court instead.
