ArchivedOn gay marriage, Bush co-opts polarizing issueWhich horse? The effect of gay marriage on straight youth? Or the right of the Federal government to impose a specific definition of marriage on the states? DOMA defines marriage at a Federal level -- there is nothing in it that prohibits, say, Massachusetts, from granting marriage licenses to gay couples. It just means that those marriages will not be recognized at a Federal level, nor will any other state be forced to recognize them. But Bush is evidently pushing for something stronger -- presumably a Constitutional amendment that would prohibit all the individual states from ever granting homosexual marriage licenses. |
