I didn't claim anything of the kind my little infant. Equality is an American value, and in the Constitution. Since marriage here is a license from the state, and all are supposed to be equal that way unless a compelling reason can be found for them not to be, that fucks you right up the ass...Don't need to. Among other things they were raping (no consent could be granted) their property, AKA human beings known as ******* (slaves). I don't need to ask them about my iPhone either.Of course it is. That's the way it was for 250 years in this country, and thousands of years in Europe. Are you actually going to claim that Washington and Jefferson believed in gay marriage?No, it isn't, which is why no one asks if you can have children, and so many can't or no longer can. That argument also died in the courts so, give it up.The contract is intended only for couples who are capable of reproducing.
We aren't talking about your iphone. We're talking about laws that have been around for hundreds of years. You claim these laws were intended to include gay couples. I just proved you're full of shit.
So if the license is from the state, what federal government has to do with it? It's states business to issue the license, or to deny it. Federal government is mingling in the State's rights for way to long. The reason why we have 10th Amendment is to define the balance of power between the federal government and the states. Just to remind, the amendment says that the federal government has only those powers specifically granted by the Constitution. The marriage is not one of them.
