Discrimination based on sexual orientation is just gender discrimination, no? And the 14th amendment's drafters made it purposely open-ended, so to say it doesn't apply to gender (or to sexual orientation without the gender connection) is baseless, its open-ended and inclusive by default. It would be unusual and bizarre for any arbitrary legal category to "get around" the 14th amendment, and gay marriage bans are as arbitrary as it gets.
I'm not saying this as a supporter of it, its just clearly they're in the constitution, its equal protection. I don't think abortion is guaranteed even though I'm pro-choice, but gay marriage is. Lol the entire purpose of the law is to "make a statement." That's just admitting to violating the Equal Protection Clause, its labeling ppl for the sake of labeling ppl.
