Three times it has been found unconstitutional. I'm all for citizens voting, and all that jazz. But not if the law they're voting for is unconstitutional. I also disagree with the states rights part, because of the full faith and credits clause of the Constitution, which says states must honor each other states' contracts. A marriage is a contract. For example, if you marry your cousin in West Virginia, and Nevada says, "no, we don't allow cousin marriage," Nevada's protest is overruled by the full faith and credit clause. Same for age requirements, etc. The same-sex part should fit right in there. By logic and by precedent.
