Tenth Amendment- The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.


Connecting to the Constitution

Is it unconstitutional to not let gays and lesbians be married. Well, it's up to the people. No where in the constitution does it specify weather they can be married or not. It's up to each individual state to come up with their own law fr or against that; then it's the people's job to accept it or not.

Personally, I don't see a problem with gay/lesbian marriage because they're people just like the rest of us. I feel as if they shouldn't be denied what should be their right. I also don't think it's right for them to have to stay in a specified place for them to be considered married. If they have a valid marriage license for one state then it should apply for all.
