Don’t put discrimination in the Constitution.
This is the slogan homosexual activists use to counter the proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. But this slogan is faulty as well. Discrimination is already in the Constitution. In fact, all laws discriminate; but it is discrimination against behavior, not persons, and it is discrimination with cause not without.
For example, the First Amendment’s “freedom of religion” protections discriminate against the behavior of some Muslims who want to impose Islam on the entire nation, but it does not discriminate against those Muslims as persons. The Thirteenth Amendment discriminates against the behavior of some businessmen who might like to improve their profits through slavery, but it does not discriminate against those businessmen as persons. Likewise, our marriage laws discriminate against the desired behaviors of homosexuals, polygamists, bigamists, adulterers, and the incestuous among us, but they do not discriminate against them as persons.
