Discussion for article #223603
Either the equal protection clause applies to everyone—including The Gay—or it applies to no one.
There is no such thing as “gay marriage.”
There’s just “marriage,” and either the law applies to everyone who wants to marry, or it applies to no one.
The Constitution DOES protect it. The 14th Amendment.
Specifically, “No state shall deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
However, now there is no constitutional prohibition against experimental forms of marriage, extended families, and such. However laws setting minimum age for marriage and preventing the buying / selling of child brides need to be established as well. But laws pertaining to poly families will need to be developed in order to protect all involved.
No doubt about it–gay marriage is fabulously constitutional.
