I have posted it many times. It is called the 14th amendment. It says:"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Note that it days ALL persons, not just SOME persons... Also note that it says "NO STATE shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." If you don't know the definition of abridge it means: to deprive, to reduce in scope : diminish. So, in other words, no state can deprive the privileges or immunities of a US citizen. It also says "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property" or "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." This means that none of the states can take away anyone's life, liberty, or property or deny any person equal protection of the laws.
That being said, my privilege as a US citizen of having equal rights to everything that every other US citizen has rights to is being taken away from me because YOU can marry the consenting adult you want to, but I can't because the consenting adult I want to marry just happens to be another woman.

No state has abridged, diminished denied Gays anything. Gays are still as sexually active as ever. What the constitution doesn't say is that it will change the definition of social normality to appease any small groups sexual preferences. Which includes pedophilia and prostitution.

What is the difference between Gays and pedophiles?
Why do Gays have more rights than prostitutes?

Yes, we do need to change the tax laws, but that is not part of this discussion.

Being sexually active and getting married are two different things. You can be sexually active and not be married... The rights for gays to have sex is not the issue here, the right for gays to get married is the issue.
What is the difference between gays and pedophiles???? Are you serious????? Being gay does not make one a pedophile. I am gay, I have 3 children, and if ANYONE ever touched one of my children they would feel a wrath like no one has ever known before.
And, gays don't have more rights than prostitutes... prostitutes can get married.

It is an obvious reality that the laws that do not apply equally are unconstitutional and need to be changed.

You can hide behind the 14th amendment and use it as protection for your sins. But in the end you will all be together in HELL and you won't have to worry about your rights because you won't have any rights at all!

Under your argument prostitutes have a better argument they are being denied their rights than you do!
They can claim they are being denied the right to make a living. Both are issues of sexuality.Yours is far more dangerous to society.
Deny it all you want, the facts show that homosexuals are responsible for 35% of all child molestations, though they make up only 4% of the population.

Doesn't change the medical/physiological facts, does it.
Nor does it change the fact that homosexuality is a evolutionary genetic defect.
