[QUOTE="R. Johnson, post: 2386305, member: 10606"] You have it exactly backwards. Under a ban on homosexual marriage everyone, gay and straight alike, has an equal right to marry a person of the opposite sex in compliance with the equal protection clause. Legalizing same sex "marriage" creates another equal right for all people, gay and straight, to "marry" a person of the same sex. Bans on gay marriage do not violate the U.S. Constitution. Further, the U.S. Constitution does not give the federal government the right to regulate marriage, nor does it prevent the many states from doing so. Therefore, IAW the tenth amendment, the states have a Constitutional right to regulate marriage. What's great about the United States is that if you don't like the laws in your state you can move to a state that is better suited to your tastes. [/QUOTE]
