So I was just wondering, eventhough I don't see the fight for gay marriage as back-tracking to this,
If there were to be a federal amendment that actually defined marriage between a man and a woman, which would be most important for federal recognition, genetically being a man/woman, the gender which someone lives their life as, or what the state recognizes as a man or woman? Or would there be some other thing that qualified it?
Also, as a side question, would marriages where someone changed their sex during the marriage be invalidated now that one of the people is no longer their original sex?
