new age, attention seeking gay or not, the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment applies to all. so why, since its inception, has it been used discriminately?
The 14th Amendment doesn't apply to marriage because the US Constitution is a federal constitution, not a national constitution. The clause you arereferring to does not prohibit states from altering, regulating, or restricting privileges related to state citizenship.
I'd like to think us Californians live up to the ideal of a socially equitable state, but the fact is the only group active enough to change our constitution are those who mounted enough political support to strip same-sex couples of their natural and legal right to marry the person of their choice.
Marriage is not a natural right. Natural Law is against any law that is man made like marriage which whether referring to hetero or homosexual marriage.Natural Law or Rights refer to 3 things, Life, Liberty, and Property.
