On the marriage issue, I’m continually baffled that politicians say they are against same-sex marriage, but then want to repeal the federal law defining marriage.

The Defense of Marriage Act not only allows state to not recognize same-sex marriage from other states, it also defines marriage in federal law as 1 man 1 woman.

If the Defense of Marriage Act is repealed, then the federal gov’t would not have a definition of marriage. Then I assume that the courts would say the federal gov’t has to recognize whatever any state defines as marriage.

Repealing the Defense of Marriage Act will pave the way for 50 state same-sex marriage by setting the stage for the next lawsuits filed by gay activists to force the issue.

I can’t believe Obama. He said he’s against same-sex marriage, favors allowing each state to define marriage, favors granting partner rights to same-sex couples, and wants to repeal the federal law which defines marriage. Gee this guy is full of contradictions on this issue alone.
