First off you asked me what was my reason/ view. wither it is legal or not is irrelevant. Its my damn opinion!!!
Second. Yes you are looking at the equal protection clause of the 14 amendment. However if you read it it actually grants the states right to discriminate its citizen i[i]f they can show that the have a completing interest.
Third. . . . Those who are under a protected class must be put up to the highest scrutiny when the state argues its position to discriminate. Protected class being Race, Sex, Religion, Disability and Age. I may be missing one.
4. HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A PROTECTED CLASS!!!!! . Even Justices Kennedy could not and did not give homosexuals a protected class statues because it is way to open as to who fall under the class[/i]
