Absolutely not.

If the argument about "religious significance" of marriage is key - then I think separation of Church and State trumps it. You cannot have a separation, while also having an amendment to protect a religious rite. The Churches are not compelled to do anything.

Further, I'm a purist when it comes to constitutional law. Marriage and other issue specific matters - unless it relates directly to heads of power and authority or specific or implied rights, it has no place in a consitution.

The whole idea makes a mockery of the constitution. You use the consitution to outright ban something because it makes the screeching Mob uncomfortable?
