i was being facetious. i suggest that you go re-read it. the day the govt started giving rights to married couples, they opened this can of beans. you can't give rights to some, and not to others-THAT is what is unconstitutional. a lot of specific institutions aren't specifically mentioned-but it is specifically stated that all men (and presumably, women) are created equal.

I hate to say it,but all MEN weren't created equal in the eyes of the constitution. Black men were 1/5 or 2/5 of a white man so I doubt if women or gays were exactly equal either. I'm not saying I agree with it. I think it should go to the states. Vermont did it the right way. I personally don't care. My right to own a firearm is spelled out in the constitution(tangent!). Where is marriage between a man and woman mentioned in the constitution? Next to the right to get a mortgage for a home I can't afford?

so, since back in the late 1700's they decided all men weren't equal (which has since been remedied, i recall a civil war as well as a couple of amendments to the constitution regarding voting, desegregation) altho they wrote they were, we're supposed to continue to follow that?

you can't pick and choose which rights to convey-you just mentioned your right to bear arms. some don't want you to have that right. so, like them, do you want to cherry pick which ones should be given, which aren't? after all, that might just jump up and bite you in the bite regarding your guns.

take note of my signature regarding majority rule.
