The Guy Ranting About "The US Constitution was written and guaranteed EQUAL rights under the law". I Can Picture Him Walking Into The Constitutional Convention, Holding His Boyfriends Hand, Telling The Fathers They Are Going To Get Married "So work It In There"...... Probably Both Lined Up & Shot Within Minutes.

I don't think the Framers of the Constitution were into lining people up against a wall and shooting them.
Well, I know Madison wasn't, at least. Hamilton might've been another matter.
The didn't have homosexuality during them olden days. It was just there at Saddam and Gommorrehia, but it didn't creep back into the world until after Ted Kennedy made the theory of evolution.
Yet another victim of that conspiracy.
Gay marriage wasn't even thought of back then. Which is precisely why "strict constructionism" is not the best Constitutional philosophy.
BTW, the California Supreme Court decision dealt with the California State Constitution, not the Federal one.

I don't know if it's a code, but why exactly is 'work' the only word not capitalised in there?
well, perhaps, but I'd at least think it would give them pause to address the subject. Given that historically they are reasonable men I'd imagine that chances are we'd have a constitution more in line with modern thinking if that incident had happened. It is entirely possible that they would decline such rights though, as at the time of the Constitution's writing slavery was still allowed.
Gentlemen in the 18th century were enlightened. They knew of these things (and homosexuality was a social solecism if expressed too openly) but it didn't carry the taint ascribed to it later by the prudish victorian god botherers.

Hmm...thought it would spell something if I took the first letter of each word, ya know with all that capitalization and all.
About the time of the revolutionary war, there were molly houses in a lot of cities. Being a brothel but specifically for male prostitutes. I doubt they’d have reacted to such a presentation as anything like violence. Maybe, “Not just yet.”
Confused?
