The Washington-based Alliance for Marriage will try to build a nationwide network of state lawmakers who would support such an amendment to the Constitution, the group's leaders said in an interview with the Associated Press on Monday, a day before they planned to unveil their new effort.

Three-fourths of state legislatures would have to approve a federal constitutional amendment.

The group said it considers it a temporary setback that the Democrats' triumph in the November midterm elections resulted in a congressional leadership unsympathetic to their cause.

It must be a very sad existence for those people, to live in such fear of matters that they really should have no concern over.

Have they no patriotism? Does equality hold no meaning?

In a country that was recently rapidly losing rights, it would be nice to see some new ones granted.

Amending the Constitution for something that is basically a religious issue could be very bad.
Nameless here for evermore!;  Merely this, and nothing more;
Tis the wind and nothing more!;  Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore!!"

While we're at it, why not make it illegal for people who are on disability to get married?  It's just as absurd.
