Theoretically, it is something that should be only dealt with on the State level, but meh, it is really one of the minor oversteps.

Again - - state right of marriage is pure unadulterated discrimination. It was to keep undesirables out of a community. This is antiquated and should be abolished.
As with other Federal Rights Acts - - - marriage should be equal Federally. It is the Federal "rights and privileges" that are being denied to gay marriage. Even those who are legally married in their state.
Prop 8 arguments determined religion is not a valid reason to deny Equality to gays. That's why NOM (and other family value groups) - - - use "harm to children" as their excuse.
And yes... it is a privilege, not a right.
A Privilege, I might add, that is wholly unconstitutional.
QUESTION: Is Marriage a Civil Right?
By Tom Head
ANSWER: Recognized federal civil rights law in the United States is grounded in the U.S. Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court. By this standard, marriage has long been established as a civil right. civilliberty.about.com...
Marriage is unconstitutional?
Are you one of those kinds of guys
if it's not mentioned in the Constitution then it is illegal and therefore must be gotten rid of?

Your point is what?
Nothing you said changes the fact that the Federal government should never have gotten involved in marriage in the first place.

What does sex have to do with a Legal Government Contract.

EXACTLY
A Legal Government Contract - - - has nothing to do with sex.
So your EXACTLY - - means what exactly?

Nothing is being taken away from Hetero couples.
Or is it about them involving themselves in other people's lives?

Involving themselves in other peoples lives how? This thread is about taking away from hetero couples. As I said, all a bunch of hypocrites, I'm all for gays having the same rights, but it seems that the gay community are happy to put down and step on anyone to get what they want.
LEGAL Marriage is a contract
to protect rights and property of those joining as one household.
Each person/couple defines their marriage.
There are sexless marriages.
YOU are the only one making it about sex.

No one is taking anything away from hetero couples.
I have no interest in "pass the trash" illogical and incorrect analogies.
Are you serious? Marriage has always been about a contract.
