Look you're wasting my time and yours. You're a liberal in traditional Mommy clothing. That's OK but it doesn't help your argument. Marriage has never been found to be the union of two persons of the same sex until judicial activists decided to do so. Fourteenth Amendment equal protection law extended that right to any couple. Violating that right does not equal creating new rights. And there is no equal protection problem here because any PERSON can marry any other PERSON of the opposite sex, ergo nobody is discriminated against.

You are a supporter of judicial activism. Most liberals prefer an oligarchy with promises of cradle to grave government largesse and special rights for special people created by small men and women in black robes. It's always been that way and I don't expect it to change any time soon.

PS: Take a math refresher course.

Adios.

I don’t know why you’re intent on labeling me, but that’s okay too.

Marriage was not found to be the union of mixed-race couples until judicial activists decided to do so.

If you think interracial marriage should have been put to a vote rather than decided by courts, then your position is consistent. It would mean that interracial couples would have been denied the right to marry until about the 1990s, according to all the poll data regarding attitudes about interracial marriage. Some people think that would have been the better course of action, and we can agree to disagree.

I’m certainly no math whiz. My husband is, so I’ll have him check my post for mathematical errors. :)
