I oppose same-sex marriage and fully support the Defense of Marriage Act which clearly defines marriage as a union between only a man and a woman. It further declares that no state is required to honor a same-sex relationship sanctioned by another state. This is the supreme law of the land, passed overwhelmingly by Congress and it reflects the will of a vast majority of the American people.

Amending the constitution is serious business, and the need for a constitutional amendment should be clearly and convincingly demonstrated. At this point, I do not think there is a need for a constitutional amendment. We have a federal law and we have a judicial process which should be given time to work. Until the United States Supreme Court says otherwise, the law of our land prohibits federal recognition of same-sex marriages – that law should be observed and respected.
