What I find most amusing is the argument that homosexuals were discriminated against. They had every right to marry a member of the opposite sex that a heterosexual had. So it wasn’t that they were not permitted something that heterosexuals were, it was just that what was available to them was not something they wanted. Now the Supreme Court has decreed that being unhappy with the same rights as everyone else is sufficient grounds to overturn the will of the people and ‘interpret’ constitutional law to add special rights in defiance of the electorate.
