This fails as a slippery slope fallacy.I'm telling you. Next we'll have unions with chickens recognized in the USA. There in no end to the insanity

Same-couples are being denied that right, the right to equal protection of the law.No one lacks the right to get married."The right to marry has been declared a fundamental right"Well it's a dandy idea...and is not our current system of government. What I described is unconstitutional...just like bans on gays marrying the partner of their choice.
I guess if you don't like the laws of our country, like the Constitution that says you can't violate my right to equal protection, you can move to a different one.
Then why even have a Constitution, if no one has to follow it?
Of course I believe in the Constitution and the right to bear arms. I have guns and know how to use them.
I was speaking about laws that the States pass that you don't like. If you don't like those laws then vote out those passing them.
He knows perfectly well as do I that the right to bear arms is in the Constitution. Of course some on the left would rather it weren't. They think no one should own a gun for any reason.
He didn't say you didn't like the 2nd Amendment, he asked why have a Constitution if the states can just say "fuck you, I do what I want".
The right to marry has been declared a fundamental right and therefore, anti gay marriage bans based solely on animus are being found unconstitutional...just like handgun bans were.
Not correct.
SCOTUS will not rule on the question until April when the Court will hear 4 cases regarding the issue.
Now, you are free to maintain your position. However, let's be clear. The above is your opinion.

False comparison fallacy.His point is quite valid. And it trumps your next contention. My carry permit is not valid in all 50 states byt my drivers license is, as is my marriage license.No, actually, my point is quite valid. (Take a look at the Heller case and get back to me, m'kay?)
States have the power to set their own standards.
Ah, but my CC permit is not treated differently than yours while my marriage license is. That's discrimination and the SCOTUS is about to find it unconstitutional.
Yes it is.. Your CC permit is not recognized by all states, so it is treated differently. For instance, CA only recognizes a few states CCW.
-Geaux
If my CC permit was treated differently than yours because I'm gay, he and you would have a point. It isn't. My CA CC permit is treated exactly the same as anyone else's CA CC permit. My CA marriage license, however, is not treated the same as one issued to a straight couple...despite it being the exact same license issued by the exact same authority.
Your missing the point. The states are controlling the differences between Ca vs other states CC requirements.

The different criteria used to establish eligibly for a CCW is not the same as denying same-sex couples access to marriage law.

No one is denying same sex couples anything. The states set criteria and the couple either meets those criteria or they dont. Just like a carry permit.

In addition to indexing the happiness and wellbeing of young people, the report explores some significant demographic differences between young people. They include a comparison between those not in education employment or training with their peers...those without a positive role model of their gender in their lives (women without a positive female role model and men without a positive male role model) and their peers...those with fewer than five GCSEs graded A* to C (or equivalent) with their peers... Respondents are asked how happy and confident they are in different areas of their life. The responses are converted to a numerical scale, resulting in a number out of 100-- with 100 representing entirely happy or confident and zero being not at all happy or confident.
The UK periodical's summation of that study: Teens without parent role model are 67 per cent less likely to get a job Daily Mail OnlineYoung people without a role model of the same gender in their lives
Young men with no male role models in their lives and women without a mother figure struggle to keep their lives on track, a hard-hitting report warns today. The Prince’s Trust youth index, the largest survey of its kind, found that....67 per cent more likely to be unemployed than their counterparts. They are also significantly more likely to stay unemployed for longer than their peers, the report suggests....It found that young men with no male role model are 50 per cent more likely to abuse drugs and young females in the corresponding position are significantly more likely to drink to excess..
The states have a vested interest in incentivizing the best formative environment for kids to keep the welfare, prison and mental ward numbers down.. This might be some of the exceptional "legalistic argle-bargle" that might cause Scalia (dissenting Windsor opinion) to sit up straighter in his chair and take a second look..Young men with no male role model to look up to were twice as likely to turn or consider turning to crime as a result of being unemployed...The report, which was based on interviews with 2,170 16 to 25-year-olds...These young men are also three times more likely to feel down or depressed all of the time and significantly more likely to admit that they cannot remember the last time they felt proud...They are also significantly less likely to feel happy and confident than those with male role models, according to the figures....The Prince’s Trust report, which was carried out by YouGov, suggests young people without male role models are more than twice as likely to lack a sense of belonging.

MOBILE, Ala. -An exclusive News 5 statewide poll in partnership with Strategy Research shows that Alabama voters have not changed their views on gay marriage to any great degree in the past decade. Our telephone poll of 3,116 registered voters shows that seven out of 10 polled still oppose allowing gay marriage despite recent court rulings here in Alabama and across the nation.
In 2006, an amendment to the Alabama constitution was passed with the support of 81 percent of voters. So, the poll indicates that in ten years, support for allowing gays to marry has only changed 10 percent. The News 5 poll was conducted across the entire state today and has an accuracy rate of plus or minus two percent.
The results breakdown like this: A total of 3,114 registered voters participated: those opposed totaled 2,177 (70%) and 937 (30%) said they support gay marriage in our
state.
Oppose Gay Marriage in Alabama --- 2,177 - 70%
Support Gay Marriage in Alabama --- 937 - 30%

TN does not have to recognize any marriage. To do so would mean the most liberal states could impose their standards on anyone else.

Yes, and so are polygamists, single parents, wolves and incestuous pairs/groups. All can "raise children". But should all marry?....
