When are the GOP going to grow a set of balls and admit that if you re not white rich male and a very conservative christian that you are not worth the hot air we spew all over. so any law we pass will only benefit the rich white guy and be done with it.

WASHINGTON -- Despite the growing number of states allowing gay marriage, one Republican congressman filed legislation Thursday to limit the federal government's power to recognize gay marriages in states.

Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) introduced the "State Marriage Defense Act Of 2014," which would require federal agencies to look into a person's "legal residence" when determining marital status and how federal law would be applied.

The bill would have the effect of reintroducing for gay couples some aspects of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman until the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in June. The bill also would undercut a Treasury Department decision in August requiring gay married couples in all states to be treated as married for federal tax purposes; Weber's bill would force the federal government to treat such couples differently in states that don't recognize gay marriage. In addition, the Social Security Administration announced in December that it would pay survivor benefits to members of gay marriages.

Rep. Weber should consider sitting down and reading the Constitution some time. It really isn't very long. : )

The constitution is only for forcing your religion on others and the right to own any gun you want and use it anyway you want.
