"Forty-four state legislatures have passed Defense of Marriage laws..."
http://pewforum.org/events/?EventID=121
I imagine in these cases, it just the government working the way it is supposed to.
Know what I think? I think all this hollering about 'activist judges' or 'legislatures not listening to the will of the people' is a smoke screen. Y'all simply think gay marriage is wrong and what you really want is a federal ban on gay marriage so even states won't be able to decide for themselves.

  No, in nearly every state where the issue has been put to a public vote, it has lost. Talk about a smoke screen.

    Interestingly, the conservative state of Arizona rejected the proposal when it was voted on by the people there. I see the spirit of Barry Goldwater, that darned old libertarian, smiling.
