<p>Does anyone have a logical argument in favour of all three current United States State measures (Arizona California Florida) to ban or prevent homosexual marriage?</p>
<p>[Sarcasm isn’t usually nice, but the thread title could have elicited curiosity.]</p>
<p>AMENDMENT XVIII
SEC. 1. Neither marriage nor any equivalent institution shall be recognized by the United States or any of the States and its constituent parts, except as a reprimand, sanction, or punishment for any crime whereof the person or party shall have been duly convicted.
SEC. 2. If any the States had granted rights and privileges prior to the ratification of this Amendment to married couples and others, then this Amendment shall not affect those rights and privileges as granted.
SEC. 3. All of the States must retain the rights and privileges, as mentioned in Section 2 of the Amendment, for future couples to apply for them; neither the States nor the Congress may repeal them or set limits to the period in which these rights and privileges may be exercised.
SEC. 4. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
SEC. 5. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, without regard to the date of the submission to the States by the Congress.</p>
<p>There isn’t a logical argument to ban gay marriage, people who want to ban something, regardless of what it is, rarely have anything other than an emotional reason- i.e. I don’t understand it, I believe is is morally wrong, I’m afraid, etc. There are very few things that cause harm just by existing.</p>
