Obama: Defense of Marriage Issue Will Be Settled Soon

Americans can only make laws that don't abridge or infringe on people's rights as guaranteed in the Constituti­on and Bill of Rights.

Even if it was true that the majority of Americans didn't want there to be gay marriage (it isn't; the majority of Americans support gay marriage -- 53 percent of people believe the government should give legal recognitio­n to marriages between couples of the same sex, while 44 percent were opposed), prohibitin­g gays from marrying violates the Constituti­on.
