| — | Ted Olson, making the conservative case for gay marriage. (via newsweek) |
Its an equal protection issue. We now have laws (hate crimes) that define sexuality as a specific class, alongside race and gender.
If you’ve defined sexulaity as something that requires protection, than that protection must extend in other areas.
I may not have all the details right, but the argument doesn’t have to go much farther than that. Every law, in any state, that blocks people from entering in to a marriage contract with one another is unconstitutional. Take all the opinion polls you want, its unconstitutional and I believe it will eventually be ruled as such.
This doesn’t scare me. Let folks get married.
Wadcity explains why the Iowa decision is more important than the Vermont bill.
I’ve said this from the start, it doesn’t matter what you believe, gays have to be allowed to get married. Its called equal protection. Its law.
Just let them get married! via riotclitshave:
