Therefore, no one can have more rights given to them than another, assuming both are legal and law abiding citizens of these United States. Thus, marriage between two consenting adults is covered under our rights as citizens. It is unfortunate that prejudice still exists today and we have much still to do. Just because a certain religious view states that it is not moral doesn't trump our Constitutional Rights!, Religion made sure that slavery started and continued, and woman would be considered their husbands property and on and on. However, we must always be mindful and watchful that religion should not be confused with our Constitution! To do so goes directly against what we fought for against England! We will obtain our Constitutional Rights and we will not stop until we do! The only reason why it has taken so long is directly related to religios prejudice. No more - we will not be silent any more and we won't be silent ever again! I do believe in God, Higher Power, and I do believe that God made me. Therefore, since god never makes junk, if I choose to marry another woman, I have every right to do so according to OUr Constitution . Why did you fail to mention that our Bill of

Last time I checked you have to amend the Constitution to change it. So as I see it there is no difference between every state being required to recognize other states drivers licenses, adoptions, or marriage contracts. Whether they be contracts between people of a different or same sex. Sounds to me like an plain old act of Congress doesn’t get to supersede the Constitution.
