“So, IOW, if you’re against gay marriage, you have a problem with the Constitution?”

Respectfully,

First, I am fervent in my belief that marriage IS between a man and a woman.

But, expanding the power of the central government to enforce personal views on other citizens is most certainly not constitutional.

Again, this needs to be with the states, if at all.

So to attempt to answer your question, if you are FOR giving the federal government the authority to regulate marriage, then you have taken a stand that is not constitutional. You could, possibly, take that up with your state, and it would not be inherently unconstitutional.

Oh I completely agree that this, as well as other leading issues hijacked by the federal government, should be left to the states. Always have, always will.
