Yay for state sovereignty
Louisiana ratified the 14th amendment. A ban on gay marriage violates the 14th amendment. Courts are not beholden to the will of the people but rather the constitution. Guess what's going to happen when this gets to SCOTUS?

No it doesn't.
Gays and lesbians are free to marry - just must be to the opposite sex. Gays/lesbians aren't (or shouldn't be) a protected class.
I'm all for civil unions. I'm all for grown people arranging their business and personal affairs they way they see fit - as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. But redefining marriage to fit a particular outcome is crossing a line. The Constitution is SILENT on the issue of marriage. That's a good thing.
You know I agree with you about 95% of the time Sentrius - this is one area where we'll just have to resectfully agree to disagree.
