Can you say “unconstitutional”? Marriage has always been a religious issue, not a state issue and why Lincoln never enforced it but instead made exception for the LDS. It's time to get the govt out of the bedroom once and for all as the founders intended it to be. But this does stop at relationships between a man & a woman when done legally according to Scripture as God has had laws against homosexuality since HE created man.

Can you say ignorant of your country's history?

There have been laws concerning marriage from the beginning of this country. I'm assuming you are referring to the Federal constitution and leaving the various State constitution and laws out of your post.

This having been said, just because states implemented and enforced Marriage Laws, does not mean they aren't constitutional from a Federal perspective because we have the 10th Amendment to the constitution that reads as follows:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
