Well, if it's an option, then it's a privilege. Straight people are currently privileged to marry, gays are not. Unconstitutional.



Adults are allowed to vote, children are not. Does that making the voting age unconstitutional?


Two different things G-man.


Maybe, maybe not. The fact of the matter is that there are all sorts of laws that differentiate between different groups of people and those laws are upheld as constitutional. While I am certainly willing to concede that a particular court might rule that bans on gay marriage are unconstitutional I'm equally willing to concede a valid argument exists on the other side. My only quibble here is with Snarf, who has applied an incredibly simplistic rule to the situation without explaining himself adequately on any level.
