The constitution says nothing about marriage. Allowing blacks to enroll in a college receiving tax money is not the same thing as not allowing a state to decide what is considered a legal marriage. And I still don't see what rights homosexuals are losing here. If you're talking about tax code afforded a married couple as being a civil right the same would apply to a single person. If civil rights dictate a homosexual couple are afforded the same tax class as heterosexual than a single person's civil rights are violated because they don't receive the same benefit. |

The constitution can't explicitly speak to every scenario and situation and still be a credible document.
/paraphrasing by BRC of Lincoln's words on the constitution. |

It ain't Selma by a long shot, but it's the best shadow of a civil rights issue that we have left.

Yes, they were in the original draft. A wise man once said some years ago: "it's not paranoia if they really ARE out to get you." The Left is quiet now on the issue of churches but they absolutely believe in laws like this and the chorus will grow louder as time passes. That is why I say the Right better be ready for the nonsense when (not if) it comes. |

It's one of those catch all phrases. It doesn't really speak to the issue but people have latched onto it. I think it means letting people do things with each other if they are the same gender that other people do that are the opposite gender. Marriage is probably the biggest deal right now.

If the state sponsors a contract (e.g. marriage), the 14th Amendment (Equal Protection clause) applies.
This can be solved via two methods: either the state must allow for "non-traditional marriages" within the confines of the law (homosexuality is not illegal, incest, polygamy, beastiality are), or the state should not sponsor and regulate marriage.
