There is not two sides to the argument over gay marriage. Gay marriage is a simple civil rights issue and is protected under the constitution as such.

The "defense of marriage act" is just so much bunk and should be addressed as such.

<< The US Supreme Court is likely to issue some sort of ruling on DOMA, The Defense of Marriage Act, just another in a long line of unconstitutional laws.

Here's the argument raised by both sides:

“Of course, Congress has the right to define such a fundamental institution,” said Brian Brown, president of the Washington-based National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex nuptials. “This is a question for the representatives of the people. Congress represents the people.”
