likewise with gays, if the rule was, your gay so you cant marry anyone male or female, you might "might" have a case. But, they have the exact same rights to marry as any other person. there is no discrimination.
next, where in the constitution does it specifically spell out marriage rules.
this is not a constitutional issue, it is a states issue. there is no discrimination and there is no detriment to society as a whole by not allowing it. |
If we tell all people who breathe they can't do this, that is not discriminatory. If we say mouth breathers can, but nose breathers can't, we are discriminating. if we tell ALL siblings 'no marrying sibling' then we are not discriminating.
The constitution has nothing to do with marriage, at all. It is a list of limits on government power in general including government treating the people equally. Gay marriage bans are unconstitutional because they are unequal. They are discriminatory. In my view.
Are we gonna go through this again?
