From WorldNetDaily:
Two lesbians filed the first lawsuit in the nation to force the federal government and other states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in Massachusetts.
Rev. Nancy Wilson and Paula Schoenwether, who traveled to Provincetown, Mass., in May to get married, are now seeking recognition of their license in Florida. They claim exclusion of homosexual couples violates the U.S. Constitution's right to equal protection under the law and the implicit "right to privacy."
Seven years ago, however, the Florida Legislature, like many throughout the nation, passed a law defining marriage as a bond between one man and one woman.
The suit also is a challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, which says no state is required to recognize "a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other state, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship."
Mat Staver, who drafted Florida's Defense of Marriage Act, says the effect of the decision by four of the seven Massachusetts judges last November now is spreading to other states.

The radicals didn't leave well enough alone.The President may be right. In order for states to have the right to say 'no' to these activists, a Constitutional amendment may be in order...
Generally speaking, I am against an amendment because I believe the states already have the right to make their own laws governing marriage, but I suspect that the judiciary will engage in activist behavior.
