Uhm, I don’t know. The US is based on the approach that whatever is NOT prohibited is allowed, not the euro idea that whatever is not allowed is prohibited.

I am right wing enough, and find the idea of sex between men to be nauseating. But where in the Constitution does it say that an aversion to gays or the religious condemnation of gays 2000 years ago is a basis to deny two adults the right to marry?

One person here says there is no Equal Protection issue, since the gays have the same right any anyone else to marry a person of the opposite sex: but what is the basis for restricting the right to marry in that fashion (other than religious or simply a group dislike of gay marriage?).
