The only other REAL precedent based on your loose comparison that can be made is Jim Crow laws, those were ill conceived and verys specific laws that could and were easily picked apart. Same-sex marriage is not even close to segregation.

Technically EVERY LAW is discriminatory to someone.
you mean 52%.. and apparently that 52% didn't get the memo that this wasn't a religious issue when they collected 25 million dollars from Mormons, who, by the way, are from several different states who took part in 'the legal process' of the one state

look, i know you're never going to admit you're making an error of logic, and I'm just going to leave this as is. but i do hope you consider my point regarding the very real dangers in allowing public to be able to arbitrarily decide who gets what rights, and who doesn't.
