No.
What you wind up with is a legal fiction created by the logic of all amendments here to date.
Namely, the government can not set up a religion of its own nor prohibit a religion from existing but it can prevent a religion from allowing same sex marriages. That is the defacto reality of such an ammendment.
For every ammendment on the books the legal clause but it can prohibit same sex marriages can be understood to exist from that day forward.
What is interesting is the fact that the constitution prohibits census taxes but the ammendments allow taxes by any means necessary and the logical legal interpretation should be by any means possible except census taxes. Instead it is thought that the latter law supercedes the earlier law.
If that were the case here, and it is not, then it could errase the previous law. The only other ammendments this seems to effect are equal rights which is a work related ammendment and states rights which really is not changed at all by this ammendment.
So, no, your human rights are not violated. They are established. As it sits right now you have no right to get married except those rights afforded you by your states, and even then they cannot afford you a right that creates a defacto church. All a marriage license is is a piece of paper recognizing a union of two people for financial purposes. It is not actually a marriage. It is a legal fiction. If you want a real marriage you have to go to a church.
Of course if you can find a religion that wants to endorse gay marriages then you might have something.

It is already a constitutional amendment, The right of religion, and marriage is a religious ceremony, so it should be up to religious leaders if they want to ban same sex marriage, not the government, and besides these people love each other and actually do stay together till death do they part, so why should gay people who obviously believe in the sanctity of marriage not be able to have the same rights as these couples who go to Vegas get drunk wake up married then get a quickie divorce, if that is the case all marriage should be banned.

I dont know. I think that is a very hard question, but look how bad every thing is right now. Constitutional amendments are being cut into little pieces all the time. It used to be that we could write, speak, and feel freely without any problems now we get in trouble for every little thing. I think that if in your heart you love someone of the same sex or the opposite, no law or amendment is going to change that feeling. So dont let an amendment that is arleady being torn apart stop you from being who you are.

Violation of human rights? Maybe. Wrong to deny a section of the population the ability to choose if they want to marry? Yes. Unamerican to therefore block some people the ability to receive the same benefits as a "married" couple. Absolutely. Who's business is it if two men or women feel deeply enough about each other to make their sacred vows to on another and what ever deity they worship? No one but their own. We don't get in the middle, as a nation, of every single hetro wedding that goes on in this country. It's hypocritical of people to say that it is wrong for a group of people to just want to be "married". I think that the religious section of the population and the homophobic section should keep their opinions to themselves and quit making a national issue out of things that aren't any of their business.

No, it is however a violation of the Constitution. We are guaranteed the right to the pursuit of happiness, it seems to me that if you are unable to fully commit to the person you love in the eyes of the law you are being denied the pursuit of happiness. The idea of amending the most beautiful document man has crafted to discriminate against a certain segment of society is at it's heart the very evil that the U.S.A. is supposed to stand against.

Not being able to burn a flag would be and look at our country's history.
There are things that govt can/must/should/have/will do to keep a desired order.
Remember the governed allow the governors to do their will untill it is no longer the people's will.
If the large populous was ready to accept Gays period then marriage between two of them would be NOTHING. It would be a given.

Give me book,chapter and verse in the Bible showing that God authorized same sex marriage. God intends that marriage is to be 1 man and 1 woman. Read Genesis chapter 2 verse 24 and Leviticus chapter 18 verse 22. Anyone choosing to do otherwise is following their master, Satan.

No.
They aren't asking for a basic human right they are asking for special rights.
Marriage has always been between a man and a woman and mainly was for the reasons of procreation.
It isn't just a religious debate or about morals.
Why now?
What has changed that they feel this is a right they are ENTITLED to?
It isn't about their happiness or a happily-ever-after fairy tail ending so I say why now?

Same sex marriage is just wrong. If it were legal and allowed by the constitution is still WRONG!
