...you are denying someone(s) the right to engage in a typical legal contract based on what they do in their bedroom and that is, in my view, clearly unconstitutional. Further, some seek to make this discrimination a constitutional amendment, becoming the first amendment, ever, that specifically singles individuals out based on a characteristic.
In my view, the intelligent thing to HAVE done, when we had the power, was to come to an agreement specifying that marriage is between two consenting adults and send that off through the system forever ending a contentious issue that has long put the GOP and conservatives in the unenviable position of seeking to use the constitution to DENY individual rights.
It is one thing to fight for the rights of an unborn baby. It is a victim. Something is being done to it. It is another thing to try and control what consenting adults choose to do in the context of legitimizing and recognizing a committed relationship.
