In a 2-1 split decision hailed by the National Organization for Marriage as a "tremendous victory," the Sixth Circuit ruled that states do have the authority to set rules for marriage in several areas. All six statutory and constitutional provisions were upheld relating to: same-sex marriage bans, refusing recognition of out-of-state marriages, denying adoption, and not allowing two same-gender spouses on birth and death certificates.
The previous passage was taken from the article. What has given states the power to allow gay marriage has also given them the ability to forbid it. This article just goes to show how far the US is from actually coming to a concrete solution on gay marriage. For now it will continue to be a state issue. In my honest belief I think christians are wrong in the condemning of gay marriage. As a christian I understand the biblical text going against it, but I think they should have every right to be married. For it should not be any mans decision to say two men can't share a life together.
