Gay people arent denied anythign because they are gay. Please quote one thing that gay people cannot do.If you were a gay farmer and were denied subsidies because you were gay, you would have a case.Thanks.The 14A does not mention, much less deal with, marriage. So your point is wrong from the start.
And there is no discrimination or lack of equality. All men are free to marry any woman, and vice versa. There is no "hetero test" to get married.
You know all those government cash and prizes you get for being married? How do you think those were established?
By law.
That's why "equal protection of the laws" is relevant to marriage LAWS.
Same argument can be made for farm subsidies. WHere are my subsidies, yo? It's discirmination, I tell ya.
But farmers get subsidies. It is unequal treatment under the Constitution to give farmers subsidies but not non farmers. I want my subsidies, dammit.
