The vast majority of Tea Party members do not support gay marriage. However the Tea Party does support states rights. I personally believe that marriage is of such a basic design that it should be written into the constitution and I have no doubt that had the founders been witness to the assault on commonsense and common decency that many things would’ve been better defined such as obscenity. They never dreamed that the first Amendment would be twisted to twist the most vile forms of prurient sexual display and behavior. I personally wish they had defined obscenity as anything involving sexuality that exceeds the boundaries of monogamous heterosexual sex. It is a simple definition that would have left a solid legal foundation on which to stop sexual liberalism in all its variant forms before its birth and the world would be much better for it.

The problem comes when gay activists use the full faith and credit clause to export gay marriage from one state to another. That negates the power of a state to ban gay marriage on its own.

Exactly. Anyone with any common sense knows that the founders espoused common decency. Sodomy was a capital crime when this nation was founded. Remained so until the last 50 years or so. They would’ve never stood for the despicable nonsense that passes for normal these days, and never in their wildest imagination would they have thought that it would have to be spelled out in the constitution. Anyone with basic knowledge of early American history knows that liberty and freedom was never intended to be a trophy for perversion and degeneracy.
