John Roberts, the supremest Supreme has been a stealth supporter of gay rights or, rather, a stealth nonsupporter of discriminatory laws.

Today was no exception.

Justice Roberts revives an old argument that could save gay marriage

Fundamentally, there lurks an issue about gender discrimination in the laws passed. It is a kind of obvious but, until now, subtle distinction.

As I get it, by banning gay marriage, say between two men, then the action discriminates against men. Limiting their rights because they are male.

A bit of a mind bender.

And very interesting.

I would like a clean cut ban but if they want to dice and slice it law by law then it is fine with me. It is just a lot of work for everyone that could be saved with a clean slate decision.
