That's my question! Smiley I'm wondering WHY... it doesn't make sense to me, but I was hoping that someone here would be able to explain why we WOULD vote for any amendment that restricts a sub class...

I donlt think it actually makes sense to any thinking person, but tpo some people, gays are an abomination to God, and actually, according to the Bible, should be stoned to death. Of course, once gays realize that overt gay activity will get them killed, they limit themselves to covert activity.
The Bible-thumpers cannot get enough votes to get sodomy aka "cornholing" declared illegal as they one did. They cannot get gays arrested for living together, either, so they tell the rest of the Christians that the least they can do is to prevent the gays from getting married. Of course, no one is forcing any preacher to marry gays, but when these 'Christians' think about a couple of gay guys or lesbians putting on fancy duds and having their own weddings with cake and champagne and dancing and throwing bouquets and all, it just sorta spoils it for them, like finding a cockroach in a bowl of shrimp bisque you just ate.
So they vote to preserve wha thay call the "sanctity of marriage". It's a good way to get the morons, the rubes, the hicks and the yokels to the polls, where they will be able to exercise their keen logic in choosing a president and other officials.
