Voters do not understand that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay "rights." So the states are actually free make laws which discriminate against such "rights," as long as such laws don't also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
Voters further do not understand that, regardless of politically correct, pro-gay interpretations of the Equal Protections Clause of the 14th Amendment (14A), justices from the same generation that ratified 14A had clarified that the amendment did not add new rights to the constitution, it only strengethened existing enumerated rights.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
Again, since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay "rights," such rights don't exist regardless of 14A. What's going on is that activist judges are taking advantage of widespread ignorance of the Constitution by wrongly legislating such rights from the bench.
thank you.
“What’s going on is that activist judges are taking advantage of widespread ignorance of the Constitution by wrongly legislating such rights from the bench.”
Bingo! The vast majority of the American public is officially completely ignorant of how America is supposed to work.
