    I'm sure someone will point to the Equal Protection Clause. Other than that, I don't know.

    Fact is they aren't, the equal protection clause does not apply to lifestyle choices.

    Isn't that the basis for the whole gay marriage debate?

    Yeppers, but the real issue is whether the clause applies to lifestyle choices you make that break already established laws.


    If it applies to gays should it not also apply to polygamists? Marriage where 1 spouse is of age and the other isn't?

    It applies to your lifestyle choice doesn't it? If homosexuality is a lifestyle choice, it makes sense than heterosexuality is too.
