Unfortunately this materialistic world is driven by selfish interest,lobbyists, where the value base is not virtues and values but profit and loss.

Do you also advocate that a brother should be able to marry his sister and a father be allowed to marry his daugther?

Do you agree with the concept of equal protection under the law?</i> Keeping the 14th amendment in mind, yes ALL citizens should be included in that law. The interesting thing about this particular issue is that it only represents a very small percentage of gays/lesbians (who themselves make up a very small percentage of the total population) who actually want to get married in the first place. It seems that most people who cohabitate are content with the already existing privileges under our civil union laws. Personally, I think there is more afoot here than meets the eye.

Do you agree with the concept of equal protection under the law? That's the crux of the matter with regards to our 'rule of law'; the concept of equal protection prohibits the state from creating privileged classes, e.g.; restricting marriage to a contract between a man and a woman. Bans of same-sex marriages are inherently unconstitutional. You say you don’t agree with the concept, alluding to same-sex marriages. Do you agree with the concept of equal protection under the law?
