I hate to say it,but all MEN weren't created equal in the eyes of the constitution. Black men were 1/5 or 2/5 of a white man so I doubt if women or gays were exactly equal either. I'm not saying I agree with it. I think it should go to the states. Vermont did it the right way. I personally don't care. My right to own a firearm is spelled out in the constitution(tangent!). Where is marriage between a man and woman mentioned in the constitution? Next to the right to get a mortgage for a home I can't afford?
