How does that work for the several citizens in the several States? Did you know that our supreme law of the land was Intelligently Designed to be both, gender and race neutral, from Inception.OK, let's subject it to the test. Being black changed who you can marry, a violation of the 14th amendment. Being gay doesn't change who you can marry. Oops, we subjected gay marriage to the test, and it failed...
The same sex marriage bans absolutely changes who you can marry. As a lesbian couldn't marry another lesbian.
No, a straight woman cannot marry another woman either. The law is applied equally. Fail.
And no white man could marry a black woman. Restricting who can marry whom in both cases.
The restrictions themselves must meet constitutional standards. It must meet a specific legislative end, have a very good reason and serve a valid state interest.
Gay marriage bans can do none of these things. Nor could interracial marriage bans.
Word games aside, again, being black changed who you could marry, being gay doesn't. That is irrefutable.
Where does the Constitution say that government must treat isn't citizens as unisex? I don't see that part.
