States rights is a completely compelling argument. Just as the Supreme Court has ruled several times that localities should be able to decide what is should/should not be allowed in the public arena, I believe states should be allowed to do the same based on their constituents beliefs. Why do localities ban obscenity? For several reasons, such as degradation of women, the idea that it misinforms children about how relationships should be, etc... I believe that state sponsored gay marriage would put a governmental stamp of approval on homosexual relationships, relationships that logic and nature tell us are counterproductive to the future of the human race. My personal wish would be that marriage had remained entirely church sponsored, but as it is, I think states and their citizens should be allowed to decide whether or not they think gay marriage is appropriate in their state.
