Do we really want to support changing the constitution over this???????? What's next? No financial aid for college unless you're a practicing Christian, going to the same Church as the Pres?????? This is NOT a GAY issue, this is a HUMAN rights issue. The gov should not care who I sleep with, as long as we're both consenting adults. As a country, I would rather see people working to develop more jobs, or to erradicate disease, or homelessness, rather than people taking off work to come to SF and protest gay marriages. It makes me wonder where our priorities are as a society.

The amendment would not restrict rights. It would define what was undefined. The government doesn't care who you sleep with. They only care about tranference of legal rights and property, so that is a fallacious argument.
