You should read the Constitution before expressing your ignorance of it again.I don't know what a RWNJ is, were in the Constitution exactly IS same sex marriage guaranteed? I missed that specific reference.The American Constitution never brings up sexual issues, it never specifically forbids or condones necrophilia, incest or homosexuality. Those were, and still are moral issues, not civil rights issues. Perhaps, IF enough of you want to make marrying your dead same sex sibling the next big civil rights issue, that would be the next logical step in the evolution in this little passion play.
MaryL Yes, same sex marriage aka marriage equality is guaranteed by the US Constitution.
The real problem here is that you RWNJs don't know exactly what "constitutional" means.
The 14th amendment guarantees equal protection of the laws. Our government provides about a thousand gifts in the form of cash and prizes to married people. It achieves this through laws. Every government gift you receive was given to you by law.
For example, Social Security survivor benefits. A government gift provided by law to married people.
The whole political issue over gay marriage is a fight over government cash and prizes. Heteros DEMANDED these gifts, and they don't want gays to have the exact same gifts.
If there were no gifts, gay marriage would not even be an issue.
It sure as shit has nothing to do with religion. It is all about the government gifts.
So the government can write a law which gives everyone a free lollipop. It could not then withhold lollipops from gays "because fags are icky". That would be a violation of the 14th Amendment. The government would have to have a rational basis for withholding lollipops from a particular group.
Then, when some dumbshit like you would come along and ask, "Were [sic] in the Constitution exactly ARE lollipops for gays guaranteed?", the answer would be, "The 14th Amendment."
You're welcome.
