Oh it was no problem believe me. And I did respond to your point also - the fact that the Constitution says nothing about marriage or about whether people are equal. The Constitution protects people from the INTRUSION of government - such as in their bedroom, but it does not answer the question of gay marriage at all. Marriage is a STATE institution - not a federal one. The only thing that the federal government says is that a marriage in one state would be recongnized in another, since it is a binding contract (but even then I think there are exceptions allowed). You get a STATE marriage license - not a UNITED STATES Marriage license. Therefore - as far as I'm concerned - gay marriage is a STATE issue and each state must work it out for themselves.
