Thank Jesus that we have someone in the white house who isn't afraid to openly discriminate. Who ever said the constitution was meant for freedom?
Washington and Jefferson were just practical jokers. All that freedom and pursuit of happiness stuff was a joke.

The point, however, is that, given the were no gay marriages (or at least no legally sanctioned gay marriages) at the time the Constitution was drafted and/or ratified, it is difficult to see how Ray can argue that the Founding Fathers intended to protect such marriages in the constitution.


so by your standard the ammendment ending slavery should be overturned because it directly violates the standard in 1776.
I would argue that "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is more pro-gay marriage then for specifically adding discrimination and limiting rights within the constitution.

Bow ties are coool.
