A constitutional amendment is absurd.

My opinion is that "marriage" is church business. You want the church's blessing, go get it. The state should be involved in the partnership contract. In which case, gender isn't a factor in the contract.

As far as the founding fathers giving gays rights in the constitution, the US constitution is about defining/restricting the powers of the gov't, not restricting the rights of the people. The right is assumed if it is not mentioned in the Constitution.

If the state is going to be in the business of "marriage, then they shouldn't be discriminating for any reason.
