NEW QUESTION: SHOULD WE LEAVE IT TO THE STATES?

Both supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage have argued that each state can and should decide whether or not to legalize same-sex marriage. They argue that a federal solution is unnecessary and would make fruitful experimentation with differing marriage forms impossible.

Others argue that America would be damaged if we had such radically different definitions of marriage from one state to the next. In the Weekly Standard, Maggie Gallagher writes, "'[L]eaving it to the states' will advance the process of educating the American people in the idea that there is nothing special or important about marriage as we have always defined it--about preferring husbands and wives who can become fathers and mothers. It will further the process of persuading Americans that we don't need a shared marriage culture."

Do you agree?
