Okay then, you win. We're legislating morality. But MY interpretation of morality is more in line with the Constitution. To deny homosexuals the right to marry is discriminatory and infringes on their right to life, liberty, and happiness. Your morality here is not the Constitution's morality. How's that?

I disagree [/QB][/QUOTE]Well, you're wrong.
Tell you what, since you've asked for us to argue pretty thoroughly, why don't you do either of the following:
1. Tell us how the Constitution does not support equal treatment of Americans by the government; OR
2. In the alternative, tell us how forbidding gays from marrying or entering into some sort of civil union giving them access to the legal perks of marriage does NOT offend the constitutional requirement that those couples be treated equally. (Please note: ain't no one here dumb enough to buy the argument that "Gays can still equally marry --- they can marry people of the opposite sex." That's like saying "Jews are free to worship if we outlaw temples -- they can worship at church" So, please don't join the rest of redneck inbred Americuh in pretending that's an intellectual argument. Other than that, the field's wide open.)
