thank you for acknowledging my reasoning (i think).

In law, i think that homosexuality hasn't really been tested constitutionally as a protected group? It has been accepted as such under Executive Orders and wide-ranging opinions for employment rules about protected groups under the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act (arguably) but there is no clean wording other than the military "don't ask don't sniff" code of conduct... ??

And if equal rights for women hasn't been legally achieved in 2010 under the constitution, i think the gay bridesmaids might have a long wait if it comes to that.

There is currently underway changing the way the President is elected by bypassing a constitutional amendment process. Recently in MA we passed a law that as soon as 50.1% of the Electoral College accepts the popular vote we will to and give all our Electoral College votes to whoever wins the popular vote. This eliminates the idiocy of having small states dictate some of our candidates.
