Well, I guess there is still one or two states they can go to and get married, assumming the constitutional ammendmant fizzles - it will. But having laws on the books that seperate ANY specific group of people, let alone a protected class, and using said laws to treat them in a way that is different (not better or worse, just different) than the rest of the country, that is discrimination.

Our forefathers were smart enough to know that tradition wouldn't be sufficient argument for laws as our country grew and evolved. Why are people having a hard time with that today?
