Got a ruling I can go look up so I have some idea of what you're talking about?

In this case convicts have done some to lose that right, right? Again is there some right that isn't universal?

No, but there are some laws that stop homosexuals from marrying the person they love and want to have a family with, that's discriminatory. Gay aren't trying to stop anyone else rights they just want the same rights as others.

You brought up the issue of 'socially and sexually legitimate" in your previous post. I'm simply responding to your post, in fact I copied and pasted the term out of your post. I don't see it now. Which means I'm either missing it or you've edited your post. If you edited your post that's a cute move.
So, what is with the mention of legitimacy? You brought it up.

Again just stops them from marrying who they love. Which is pure discrimination.
