I must be looking at it from a different angle than you, because I think it doesn't take much of a Constitutional scholar to notice the inherent contradiction between a Constition which says "no state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" and a state law which denies 1,138 rights to some of its citizens on the basis of their sexuality. Hardly sounds like 'equal protection.'
