No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Seems pretty clear to me.
It doesn't exclude gay people (or even ugly people).

I am not interpreting the law in my posts only stating current facts of the law.
I think Christie is really FOR equal rights for everyone in New Jersey, he just doesn't want to look as if he's for gay marriage. Having a referendum effectively takes the choice out of his hands; I'm sure he knows it will be approved by the citizenry; no 'dirty' hands for him.

If it is a law, then you obviously never speak against it... it is all good and perfect. Right? But then, you spoke of the Constitution defining marriage as a right... which even you can't find anymore (not even in your own version of it). You then claim about states' rights... well, technically states are allowed to create their own laws, as long as they don't step on federal laws.

You could be correct in your assessment. Classic political two step.

Are there states that define marriage as a right?
Why do you continue to throw out the informal fallacies?

Nothing that I have stated is incorrect.
You've refused to clarify your statement. May be you should.
