    What will you say if the 9th deems it constitutional, or more likely, the Supreme Court?


    When a single person decides that blacks can't eat in his restaurant because they are "physically inferior due to their breed" he is discriminating and it is wrong.
    It may be wrong but it shouldn't be illegal.

    When the majority of a couple million voters decides that gays can't marry in their state because they are "morally inferior due to their defiance of 'my' God's laws", it is Democracy and it is right.
    Discrimination is a wholly subjective concept. That is why sexual orientation didn't make it into the civil rights of the '60s. I believe that changing people's minds about the nature of homosexuality is important. That's really all I was saying.

    Because that is basically the issue.
    No. It isn't. The issue is a legal delineation that grants people certain tax and hospital benefits.
