The SCOTUS voted in favor of gay rights, because gay rights are supported by the constitution.
Gay rights are a social issue; if you are trying to legislate morality, e.g. social issues, the SCOTUS should do it's job and vote in favor of personal liberties and against the government injecting itself into your bedrooms.
You can't but I will ask any way. Where in the Constitution is marriage mentioned? Especially gay marriage?
No one is getting into anyone's bedroom. Marriage is a legal situation set up by the government, it is only a right in that one can not discriminate due to race color or creed.
That would be the contract clause.
Marriage is a legal contract between two people.
The Contract Clause appears in the United States Constitution, Article I, section 10, clause 1. It states:
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
Then there's the full faith and credit clause which means the every state must recognize contracts from other states.
Article IV, Section 1:
Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.[5]
So according to that clause every state must recognize the contracts from other states.
Where in the constitution does it say that homosexuals can't get married or can't be treated equally to heterosexuals? I must have missed that part because I can't find anything in our constitution that says it's legal to discriminate against anyone.
