The way I see it, this is just as it should be.

I do not think a persons sexual preference/skin color/gender/relegion/ect. should have any bearing on FEDERAL law-making, or constitution adjustment.
I don't think the President, nor Congress should be able to pass laws that effects our entire culture in this sence. Federal Law should be reserved for very serious crime and act as a guidline for state and local law.

If I were the president, this is how I would have it. Leave each state of the union to decide for themselves, what is best for thier own people. I just don't think that a universal law would work in circumstances like:

Gay Union . Stem Cell Research . Biblical reference in public places . Abortion . Ect...

Our Democracy is just not very good at handling cultural & social evolution. Majority wins just is not a very good way to handle complex social morality disagreements. By keeping things on a smaller scale, based directly on local culture I think you will develope a better set of standards and rules based on what the people of a given area want.

This works in a multitude of different circumstances in our country today, things like driving laws & ages, social aid, building & worker requirements laws, ect. And I see no reason why we should be so two-sided as to have to choose one way or the other. We are far too complex a people for a totalitarian government.
