Yahoo! News - Gay Marriage Foes Work to Reverse Ruling
Tony Perkins, president of the Washington-based Family Research Council, said the amendment is the only sure defense against the expected wave of lawsuits by same-sex couples who marry in Massachusetts, then return home to other states and seek recognition of their unions there.

The description of gay marriage as a "public policy crisis" at a time when we are engaged in two increasingly difficult wars abroad, confronting a wobbly economy, and submerged in spiraling deficits shows a severe lack of a sense of proportion. If there were any doubt, it is evident in the fact that these people propose to amend the Constitution to codify their narrow bigotry.
