No one ever said there was.
In fact, there’s no such thing as ‘same-sex marriage.’
All states have but one marriage law, contract law, marriage contracts that both same- and opposite-sex couples are eligible to enter into.
The 14th Amendment requires the states to allow American citizens, residents of the states, access to all of a state’s laws, including marriage law. When the states contrive un-Constitutional measures to prevent same-sex couples from accessing the marriage law they’re eligible to participate in, such as Utah’s Amendment 3, those states violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment:
Utah’s Amendment 3, as with other similar measures invalidated by the courts, lacks a rational basis, lacks compelling evidence in support, and pursues no proper legislative end; it seeks only to make gay Americans different from everyone else, in violation of the 14th Amendment.
Someone needs to tattoo a big #14 on Martys forehead so everytime he starts getting illogical about state rights we can remind him to go look in the mirror.
And someone needs to remind people who harp on the 14th amendment so much as being untouchable are usually perfectly fine with ignoring the 2nd amendment.
But we all know progressives are a bunch of fucking hypocrites anyway.
I support the second amendment. However, the second amendment has nothing to do with this. You just dont understand the 14th amendment so you are reduced to bringing up the 2nd to cover your tracks.
