All but #6 are subjective opinions of the author of this thread. But I have to ask why does the Defense of Marriage Act bother THall so much? (Surely we don't have a homosexualist in our midst do we?).
Make no mistake about it, Donnie Trump is a huge defender of the LGBTQueer movement, is that part of the appeal THall?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't DOMA define marriage when it came to the federal government and allowed the respective states to not recognize faux marriage done in other states?
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) (Pub.L. 104–199, 110 Stat. 2419, enacted September 21, 1996, 1 U.S.C. § 7 and 28 U.S.C. § 1738C) is a United States federal law that, prior to being ruled unconstitutional, defined marriage for federal purposes as the union of one man and one woman, and allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages granted under the laws of other states. Until Section 3 of the Act was struck down in 2013 (United States v. Windsor), DOMA, in conjunction with other statutes, had barred same-sex married couples from being recognized as "spouses" for purposes of federal laws, effectively barring them from receiving federal marriage benefits. DOMA's passage did not prevent individual states from recognizing same-sex marriage, but it imposed constraints on the benefits received by all legally married same-sex couples

So DOMA did support states that didn't want to acknowledge faux marriage, as well as defining marriage at the federal level.
While our Founding Fathers (who abhorred homosexuality) didn't write our constitution for anyone other than a moral and religious people, I agree (and I believe Ted Cruz does as well) that the best way to fight this on going culture war is to leave immoral things like homosexuality up to the respective states.
That being said:
You might find "The Donald Trump Files" interesting, as he is very pro homosexual.

The above may be the queerest thing
you have ever said.
If you want to know what I think about
homosexuality, just read Leviticus 20:13
DOMA is a violation of the 10th Amendment.
Some things are state's rights issues, they
are not and should not be touched by the FEDS.
DOMA in every state, would be much preferred,
provided we had an honest Supreme Court......
