i think that's why the constitution doesn't spell things out specifically. they didn't know exactly what would come up in future, so it doesn't say you have the right to life, libery and pursuit of happiness as long as you fit certain criteria. they were smart enough, or we were lucky enough, that they were pretty general about everyone being equal, and that it is NOT majority rule, so that the rights of the minority can't be trampled on.
like i've said before, the issue isn't with marriage-the issue is that you can't offer rights to some and not others. where this country screwed up is with granting rights to some just because they're married. if marriage is a religious institution, the govt should have stayed out of it. since they didn't, and have offered things to couples, they are obviously not treating everyone as being equal.
