So outlaw sodomy and oral sex for EVERYONE, and make marriage about producing children again, not for nonsense like love, companionship, financial security. Pursuit of happiness can't conflict with THE LAW, and the law must be clear that marriage is for a penis to inseminate a vagina, nothing more.

It has become implemented in several states now in the USA, and backed now by some of the State supreme courts. In a few states it has been adopted by the voters, and in one of the New England states by their legislature. By no means is it widely accepted, it is divided pretty much down the middle, as shown in voter results. Even in Supreme court rulings, One vote made the difference in California, it was not a 7-0 zero vote, meaning several justices saw valid reasons on both sides of the fence to consider. So it is not "simple as that", in terms of voter preference, nor in terms of the legal expertise of Supreme Court Judges.
That said, the issue is being adopted slowly and is becoming a reality, as the voting base becomes more liberal, and the appointed justices become more liberal in there legal rulings. Prior decades were much more Conservative.
