The Court put the ball back in the Legislature's court where it belongs. This is an issue to be resolved through the laws not through interpretations of of the Constitution. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution about gay marriage..there is nothing prohibiting it or requiring the People to recognize it. If the judge had said the Federal law that defines marriage was unconstitutional it would have added more fuel for the Constitutional amendment folks. Its a harder slower fight but if Gay Marriage is going to be a reality it needs to become law through the Legislature..State by State. I am sorry for the pioneers caught up in this but a couple of marches an huffs of indignation is not going to change the law only the people can do that..which means bringing your issues to the small town meetings, and big city councils one group at a time.
