You don't have the right to break the constitution and, yes, enacting laws which deprive a segment of the population from their right to equal protection before the law does break the constitution.
Bingo!
I love the crazy arguments from the hate-spewers about how passing laws that prevent discrimination means some group is being granted "special, protected status" - as if the basic human right to NOT be treated like something less than human is "special?!"
Newsflash: gays aren't hurting anyone, and nobody is forcing you into a gay relationship just because gays happen to be in the area legally.
All the same irrational and vitriol ridden arguments were used against: blacks, Jews, Asians, Italians, Irish, etc. over the years. And it was all nothing but ignorant bigotry back then, and it's nothing but ignorant bigotry today.
What is all this talk about "enumeration"? Are we talking about math? It's odd to use it in the context of LGBT people.
Quote:
The reference to prohibiting enumeration refers to state laws that disallow the implementation of bullying policies that specify (enumerate) protections for LGBT students.
Sorry, but prohibiting enumeration by way of disallowing school "anti-bullying" laws catering to homosexuals SPECIFICALLY is not unconstitutional. And every state should disallow these laws.
So to listen to your viewpoint homosexual students should be lawfully bullied in hopes they will feel like killing themselves?
Since when is having the same rights as other citizens qualify one as "protected class?"
"State's rights" has and always will be code for a state's right to legally discriminate.
The poster surely thinks states should have been granted the right to decide if blacks are a protected class, and if not, then to legally discriminate against them, or in other words keep the Jim Crow laws in effect.
What "inconvenience" has the whole nation suffered as a result of homosexuality being legal?
Moral decline.
It is no different than running naked in public.
