Why is who can get married a constitutional matter? Laws have changed, and still vary from state to state, about marriage ages, rights, etc. In fact it seems quite constitutionally permissable to change or expand laws about marriage in our country's legislative bodies. Why would our Constitution suddenly have bearing in the case of gays, except in the case of federal vs. state jurisdictions?
I didn't claim the Constitution did or didn't. My question is to the first poster who claimed that the Constitution specifically permitted them. I'd like to know the factual basis for that assertion.
