Gay Marriage

[The Jays]

There are too few things in this country that are left to be decided upon by the states. Especially given that the basic tenet this country was founded upon was less power to the central government due to empowered state and local governments

Because we, as a society, have moved away from that principal, so that there are people out there who are like "well, if it's ok in Mass, then why can't it be ok everywhere?" People think that if somethings the law in one place and it works, that it should be applied every, thinking that it will work. What starts to happen is that there's no longer any trial or error, no places to experiment with new legislature. I know that if we applied the same zoning and building laws everywhere, it would not work, because the zoning for fucking Wichita , Kansas doesn't work in NYC. But, that's what people think should be the case.

The will of the people in New York State is gonna be that gay marriage should be legal. That is not gonna be the will of the people in Alabama, and it would be wrong to tell that state what is right and what is wrong for their people when others are not citizens of that state.

There are things that the federal government don't need to concern themselves with, and we certainly don't need a spending bill devoted to promoting marriage, nor do we need any federal laws regarding marriage.
