Gay marriage makes no sense anyway.
This makes gay marriage nonsensical. To call it marriage is very similar to calling men women, or women men, just because that's how they feel one day.
I'm not sure why they sought it out in the first place.
This is definitely a states rights issue. I think that's where SCOTUS goes with it.
Such marriages could be for the purpose of simplifying inheritance.
Gay men are also violent. Not really friends anymore, but a girl I knew had a gay brother that was killed by his lover.

The gays have a desire to make their relationships seen just as "normal" as a hetero couple. Therefore, they want to get married and raise kids like "anyone else." Just like a tranny who wants full acceptance as the sex he isn't.
Gay marriage was and is a subversive prequel to legalizing pedophilia. It is also meant to be a ritualized humiliation and mockery of hetero society.
As Dave Chappelle put it, “My question is, to what degree do I have to participate in your self-image?”
Actually, he said: “My question is, to what degree do I have to participate in your delusion?”
The Supreme Court has been officially called on to reconsider its landmark ruling, which legalized gay marriage nationwide more than a decade ago.
At the center of the case is the Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges.
The long-shot request was made by Kim Davis, the former Kentucky clerk who gained notoriety after she was jailed for refusing marriage licenses in the aftermath of the court’s ruling.
She was sued by a gay couple and ordered to pay $100,000 in emotional damages, plus $260,000 for attorneys’ fees.
“If there ever was a case of exceptional importance,” her lawyer Matthew Staver wrote, “the first individual in the Republic’s history who was jailed for following her religious convictions regarding the historic definition of marriage, this should be it.”
In her petition to the Supreme Court, Davis argues that Obergefell was based on a “legal fiction.”
She asserts that it has eroded the First Amendment’s protections of religious freedom.
“The damage done by Obergefell’s distortion of the Constitution is reason enough to overturn this opinion and reaffirm the rule of law and the proper role of this Court,” the petition says.
The appeal quotes from the conservative justices, who warned at the time of the Obergefell ruling that the court had bypassed a democratic debate to overturn centuries of tradition on marriage and the family.
Chief Justice John Roberts called the decision an “act of will, not legal judgment” that proclaimed a new right with “no basis in the Constitution.”
Justice Samuel Alito, who has continued to criticize the decision, said the post-Obergefell world would be one in which religious believers will “whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes.”
“But if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools,” he wrote.
Davis is urging the Supreme Court to send the issue back to the states, citing the Dobbs decision.
Dobbs ended Roe v. Wade as an example of the justices overturning an erroneous precedent.
Legal analysts are skeptical that the request will go far, however.
I believe Lesbians report the highest DV of all.
I think SCOTUS won't completely overturn it, but will pare it down, such as limiting it to the states and not requiring other states to recognize it.
They do have precedence to completely obliterate it, noting that throughout Western History and the Common Law, it's always been between 1 man and 1 woman.
Or end up back at the moderate position of 2008: Gays can have hospital visitation and execute their estates on death if they file some kind of Partnership Contract determined by the States and NOT blue-skied by Federal Fiat.
