Staes don't have rights? WTF?Marriage isn't a state 'right'- states don't have rights. However Marriage is a state issue.There's nothing for me to get over. You're the one living for this issue and this issue alone. I can laugh it off. AND point out the flaws in the thinking. In fact, I rather enjoy it.Procreation isn't in the Constitution. Interstate travel isn't in the Constitution. Does that mean you don't have a fundamental right to procreate or travel from state to state?
Marriage hasn't been a "state's right" since 1967...get over it already.
States have define marriage, you are clueless (STILL). Interracial bans were unConstitutional because they treated men differently due to race. Government cannot discriminate against race, how fucking hard is that?
And no, you do not have the right to anything you want because it isn't in the Constitution.
But all State laws must be Constitutional- and gay marriage bans were as unconstitutional as mixed race marriage bans- and for the same reasons- because Americans have the right to marry, and states cannot arbritrarily take away rights.
Repeating your error doesn't make it true. Same sex isn't "equal" to opposite sex, no way no how. So gay marriage can't be equal. It was a very bad ruling, like Roe V Wade and will be overturned in the future when people realize what a joke it is.
A same sex relationship is sufficiently similar to an opposite sex relationship to render the two relationships equal under the law.
We are talking about the law here.
