It may have been started in reaction to people trying to make homosexual marriages, but it no more bans gay marriage specifically than it bans polyamorous marriages specifically.

I see what you mean, about what the legislation is really called, and I agree that it should be called the amendment to define marriage as between one man and one woman.

If passed though, same-sex marriage would become illegal in all states - effectively banned.

Doesn't this demolish state rights though? I don't get it. States in the USA are extremely autonomous - I'm surprised governors and people in general aren't very angry about this. Marriage is up to the individual states, not the federal government.

Curious aside, who is the liberal media? What newspapers/TV stations etc?
