Lawyers for the couples are arguing that barring same-sex couples from marrying violates the equal protection clause of the state constitution.

If the law says that each citizen has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex -- or conversely, that no citzen has the right to marry a person of the same sex -- then I don't see where there's an equal protection violation.

I'm encouraged by the increasing desperation of the arguments.

Yup. Not all marriages are created equal. And gay marriage is upheld, why not do the same for polygamists - or male pedophiles who want to marry a 10 year old little girl. I mean where do you draw the line? The advocates for gay marriage think they're being clever. A civil rights proposition it ain't. Anyways no every one is suited for marriage and many heterosexuals are perfectly happy being single. There's no "right to marry."
