That is not what this amendment is about. I believe the states already have that right. I am not even touching in this amendment the part of the bill that does it. The answer is, that will be sanctioning gay marriage, as if the Federal Government sanctions, what, many divorces and re-marriages. We have no-fault divorces.
People walk out for no good reason.
That is an unfortunate trend. We ought to try and change it. But scapegoating gay men and lesbians for the failure of marriages in this society is very good politics but very terrible social analysis. That is what we are talking about. I am simply saying here, I do not know of another State that is even close to Hawaii in doing this.
