The Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution was adopted in 1868, and addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of laws. It was proposed in response to issues related to former slaves following the Civil War.
But is your sexual preference a civil right, deserving of its own set of laws? Should the government base a law on what one's bedroom habits are?
After the SCOTUS today refused to uphold laws - chosen by the people - to define marriage in the way it has been defined, homosexuality was given status of its own form of exceptional citizenship. To grant a political special interest group extra rights is not why the Fourteenth Amendment was put into the Constitution.
African-Americans should be infuriated that their dignity has been placed on a level with the bedroom habits of a political special interest group.
