Some were for a strong State Government, each state making their own laws, as long as it didn't go against the federal laws, the U.S Constitution for example. The Founders chose to make it so that the States had the most power. So if a state doesn't want Gay Marriage, they can't be forced into it. I hope that makes sense.
That's like a civil union, no?
My opinion, is that gays should be allowed to marry, as I want to get married when I find the right person, be it a girl or a guy, one day.

the states choosing their laws thing i get an d i like,but this kind of goes against pursuit of happiness does it not? gays are being severly harmed,sometimes even killed,just because some people dont want them to get married. pursuit of happiness states that as long as your not hurting anyone else in pursuing your happiness then it shouldnt matter,so then why does it in this particular sitation? gays arent hurting anyone now are they?
