Not where I live(or more specifically - near) - the local law school is the leading source of both prosecutors and public defenders in the county.

You seem to hate gay people very much - to the point that you want them to be treated unequally under our laws.

Well, there have always been "exceptions" to constitutional protections for children, which we arbitrarily declare over at 18.

That said, on the issue of driver's licensing, there does seem to be some question. Here in Florida, the chair of the Libertarian party some months back surrendered his license voluntarily, on the legal theory that the right to travel is absolute, and private citizens are not required to be licensed.

To my knowledge, despite his public efforts to be ticketed for driving without a license in order to test his theory in court, he has not yet been cited. I don't know that for a fact, but either way it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

I don't hate gay people. I do think that they are misguided. I am willing to bet that you think that stealing is wrong. Does that mean that you hate thieves?

Nothing was mentioned or inferred at all about homosexuality in this case.

Sexual preference is not a race and everybody already has the “right” to marry. Nothing has been taken away or denied. The homosexual radicals demand that the definition of marriage be redefined and expanded just to accommodate their particular sexual preference predicament. The SC is not very likely to establish a precedent and redefine society just to please and accommodate 3% of the population or else where will this end? Other fringe groups will demand similar accommodations citing marriage redefinition for one group so why not allow other modifications and redefinitions for their groups?

I wish for this to really happen to people with that attitude...

What law school would that be? I'd imagine UCLA grads would dominate LA public defenders and prosecutors offices.
