I'm curious.
Just exactly what did the judge misunderstand?

"we all know this is just the beginning"

Yep, it will take two years for the appeal to make it to the US Supreme Court.
DOMA is still in effect.
Big name politicians still haven't come out in favor of same-sex marriage.
Gay marriage is legal in only 6 states; Connecticut, DC, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Same-sex marriage is recognized in California, New York, Maryland, and Rhode Island.
And gay marriage is legal in our neighboring country to the north.
There are so many political agendas right now that same-sex marriage is on the back burner.
Long time until...

Quite simple really - constitutional rights pertain to the individual not to groups... so Prop 8 did not "single out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license".

So, you're against corporations being treated as individuals too?

Also, one person marrying another is not a group.

A person's sexuality is not a criterion of marriage.

Nor should it be a criterion for denial of marriage.

... so straight people (a group) marrying is unconstitutional too? Jewish or Christian people too? black, hispanic, asian? Marriage of redheads (a group) or short people (a group) are unconstitutional?
