The Federal Government has now overruled 37 states that made decision to define marriage between Man and Woman.

78% of voters ruled in favor of the Marriage in Louisiana Act:

"Persons of the same sex may not contract marriage with each other"; La. C.C. Art. 89.

"A purported marriage between persons of the same sex violates a strong public policy of the state of Louisiana and such a marriage contracted in another state shall not be recognized in this state for any purpose, including the assertion of any right or claim as a result of the purported marriage"; La. C.C. Art. 3520


The Federal Government has every right in the world to stop states from infringing on the constitutionally granted equality of all people in this country.

If a state makes a law, no matter how popular in that state, that infringes on constitutional rights to equality, that law should be overturned.

There are lots of precedents of this. Segregation was super fricking popular in some states too.
