There is a difference between state laws and the constitution. There are marriage laws from state to state but there is no constitutional right to marriage. So no, you are not off the hook as you put it. In our discussions you seem to confuse the difference between state laws, federal laws, and the constitution. There are many state laws that are not in the constitution. This is not to say the state laws are unconstitutional just that they aren't breaking any constitutional rules. This is the reason why most states are now passing laws to prevent gay marriage. There is no constitutional right to gay or heterosexual marriage so it's up to the states to decide for themselves.
