DOMA is in trouble

Because I am very pro-equality and very pro-civil-rights.

I think by recognizing gay marriage, the SC will only complicate matters. IMO, marriage as a ceremony or contract is an artificial arrangement imposed by society due to religious reasons. Gay marriage recognition therefore will violate the religious sanctions and the very basis behind "marriage."

So the best way is for the Govt and SC to derecognize marriage of any kind between two people.

I would find that solution acceptable. But I don't think the Supreme Court will even consider that as an option.

My suggestion makes more sense. If the constitution separates religion frmo Govt, same could be done by preventing Govt from interfering in individual's personal life/ If the govt cannot interfere with individual rights, how can it stipulate such interference in "marriage" which is a very very personal matter between 2 people ?
