Gay marriage legitimizes homosexual sex within the confines of a states' boundaries. What's being rejected here is not marriage, it's the concept that States should not sanction or bestow benefits to perversity.
Why am I not surprised that you didn't challenge him/her on the facts? All you saw was the world "crying" and you automatically assumed that what she's crying about is actually justified through some yet-to-be-determined legal interpretation.
How do you figure this? There are federal level rights, privileges and protections that go along with being married. How can it NOT be a federal issue?

Talk about ignorance and hateful remarks...who are YOU to define what is perverse? Who is being harmed by two consenting adults of the same sex having a loving relationship? Show me evidence, I dare you.

The SCOTUS already did that with Lawrence v. Texas. Homosexual sex within the boundaries of all 50 states is constitutionally protected. And, I expect they will uphold the lower courts ruling on Prop 8, which will have the added benefit of making same sex marriage constitutionally protected in all 50 states.
And I await that day with great anticipation.
Not because it impacts me, I am a heterosexual happily married male, SSM will not affect my life in any way. But I do so look forward to seeing the heads of those amongst us who would have their religious rules embodied into law explode when the thing they hate the most becomes the law of the land.

Actually, it won't.
The Ninth Circuit ruling in Perry v. Brown applies only to California. For this reason, I think the USSC is more likely than not to decline to even hear the case.

Nah. The fact that a clueless hateful bigot was undergoing mental distress and anxiety as a direct result of that hate brings me pleasure.

That is possible.
But if they take the case, and if they find same sex marriage to be a fundamental constitutional right as the lower court did, that decision, like Lawrence, will apply nationwide.

This would make more sense if Amendment 1 was actually about homosexual marriage.

It's the **concept** of sanctioning what humankind has always viewed as a perversity. North Carolina voters didn't just figure out yesterday that "pig bottoming" is not an act of love. Humans have known for centuries that homosexual perversions are antithetical to all that is right, natural, and just.
