Quote from Wallet:
When your side finally gets a state to vote for gay marriage come talk, last count I think it's like 31 to zippo..... every time it makes a state ballot it gets voted down... you have to back door legislate, no pun intended, the matter into the books against the will of the people.
Sorry, contrary to leftist philosophy and wishes, being gay is still the minority.

"Same-sex marriage is recognized only at the state level, as the federal Defense of Marriage Act explicitly bars federal recognition of such marriages.
Six state governments (along with the District of Columbia, the Coquille Indian Tribe, and the Suquamish tribe) have passed laws offering same-sex marriage and currently offer same-sex marriages: New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, and New Hampshire. In all six states, same-sex marriage has been legalized through legislation or court ruling.[23] Same-sex marriage has been legal in Massachusetts since May 17, 2004; in Connecticut since November 12, 2008;[24] in Iowa since April 27, 2009;[25][26] in Vermont since September 1, 2009; New Hampshire since January 1, 2010; and New York since July 24, 2011.[27] In 2009, New England became the center of an organized push to legalize same-sex marriage,[28] with four of the six states in that region granting same-sex couples the legal right to marry.
Out of 28 states where constitutional amendments or initiatives that define marriage as the union of a man and a woman were put on the ballot in a referendum, voters in all 28 states voted to approve such amendments.[29] "
