How would you vote on a Constitutional Amendment legalizing Same Sex Marriage?

Just curious.

I would obstain. I don't care enough about the issue to emotionally invest enough to garner an opinion.

I'm just curious to see how this board compares to national opinion.

I'm just curious to see how this board compares to national opinion.

I get the feeling that the issue resonates with about 40% of the populous nationwide, and for that group, it is a passionate issue. I would guess that of the passionate, 75% are against and 25% in favor.

CUF's general populous is probably in the passionate group given the church involvement in Prop 8. I bet they are split about evenly with half agreeing with the involvement and the other half in opposition of the church's involvement.

I would vote No. However, it is an issue other than stating my opinion, I wouldn't get actively involved in.

I don't like either option. I'm not in favor of gay marriage myself and I'd vote to outlaw it in my state, however, I do think it's a state issue and if another state wants to overturn 6,000 years of tradition then well I guess that's democracy.

However, it is not a civil right to "marry" someone of the same sex so the courts should not be involved in any way. What I fear is that it's imposed on the country by the courts.

I would be in favor of a federal ammendment saying in essence that marriage is a state issue and no state will be required to perform gay marriages/unions or recognize a gay marriage/union from another state.

I haven't voted yet. I am in favor of the legalization of SSM, but I am conservative when it comes to amending the constitution, so I am leaning toward no.
