It doesn’t really matter if they are discriminated against for homosexual behavior. The law discriminates based on behavior but you are right there is no discrimination when you choose not to avail yourself of the license requirements. If you don’t don’t pass your driving test you don’t get a license. If you are blind then you can’t drive. You can’t get a license to drive your four wheeler atv on the interstate either. Men can’t take advantage of women’s shelters. The fact is many homosexuals have been legally married to members of the opposite sex and many ex homosexuals are currently married to members of the opposite sex. And you are right you can not be discriminated against concerning same sex marriage licenses when no such thing exists for anyone. Also unless you assert that gender is not a valid legal differentiator, which of course it is, the whole argument collapses. However the one thing that is absolutely NOT debatable is that the US Constitution has no requirement and has never had a requirement not in original or amended form that requires states to issue same sex marriage licenses. Its just made up bull crap. If the supreme court rules that such a thing is a right guaranteed by the constitution they might as well just set the constitution on fire and quit pretending they are following it.

So I am guessing that you wish it were not so? And I am sorry that my usual highlighting technique makes your smiley guy look like he is drooling.
Make it up as they go along and the federal Rat judges falling all over themselves to support homosexual marriage so they can use it on the resume for future moving up the judicial ladder.
Oh, my! Where to begin?
OK, start here: Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong WRONG!
First point: There is no Federal law requiring recognition of personal services contracts between two people of the same sex as "marriage".
Second point: The only Federal laws that are superior to, or which vacate, state law are laws (passed by both Houses of Congress and signed by the President) which are made "in pursuance thereof [of the powers delegated to Congress by the States or the People]". No pretended law made by Congress in the future claiming that same-sex relationships are marriages could be a law made "in pursuance thereof", therefore, any such Federal law would be a nullity as regards the states.
Third point: We are not even discussing laws. We are discussing opinions of inferior Federal courts (Article III courts created by Congress). Any opinion of such a court is not a "Federal law", and under no circumstance is Article VI §2 (the "Supremacy Clause") implicated.
Sheesh! Doesn't anybody go to school anymore?
+1.
As a Christian, that last thing I want is a bunch of sodomites getting the same recognition as normal male and female marriages. If they want to bugger themselves that is their business, I just don’t want it recognized as normal in any way, shape or form.
I’m still hung up on exactly how one establishes that they are Gay. How do you prove you’re gay and obtain standing to sue as somebody who’s gay.
Hold on! I was just quoting from the article, which i should have made clear. May Judge Roy Moore be multiplied!
I am on Judge Moore's side, and was just quoting from the article.

Then why does your profile fly a North Carolina flag?
Still, your words are well spoken!
Understood. I was just trying to make a point that there seem to be inconsistencies with the notion that federal law, such as it is, always trumps state laws.
Ditto— thought the same myself— there is no discrimination if the law lets you do the same thing, even if it’s contrary to your desires.

Cynicism is best left in the dark and unfed, for it breeds like cockroaches with even the slightest nourishment.
?
Guess I forgot to change it when I moved!
I’ll change my flag now!
***Until some liberal federal judge further up the food chain turns this decision over.***
If you do not see this as cynicism then...
Look, it is going to happen, you and I both know this so why call it cynicism? How about calling it “inevitable” and fight it from that angle.
