What does that mean in relation to equal protection?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can. "

Whether or not homosexuality is 'voluntary' or compulsary' is beside the point. The Loving decision supports the notion that restricting a member of one group from marrying a member of another group violates equal protection - so the issue here is gender, not whether homosexuality is a genetic or not.

Take a look at the number of Hollywood types in the past five years who one day come out as gay (and of course from childhood KNEEW themselves to be gay) to aid their pathetic careers and then a year later its oopsie false alarm.

To claim that sexual orientation is an inborn trait, you need to demonstarte that the proportion of homosexuals has been about the same in all times and places. Lotsa luck.
This isn't a court room, this is a debate forum. And here, you're expected to back up your statements with proof. By not doing so, all you've shown is that your statement was a lie. Plain and simple. The burden of proof is on you.

It's up to you to prove your own **** arguement.
