Not to be Captain Obvious or anything, but why bother with any of this at all? Just get Congress to repeal it. Surely Obama won't veto.
Why would Congress change it?  Also, Obama does hate gays, although not as much as I do.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

MA has to recognize every states' marriages; but the reverse is not true.  Why should its citizens be disadvantaged?

Easier to go through the courts. Blue dogs won't vote for repeal because they'd lose too many votes from old people.

The rules of recognition are the same for all states.
