But the LGBT have already earned those rights by going through the courts. You want to take them away, you will have to come up with better arguments for the courts to change that.
And since they are designated as a minority, you can't make laws that discriminate against them, even if you are in the majority.
Want to change the constitution go right ahead.

This judges rulings look pretty straight forward according to the information he cited. If the homphobes want to challenge the actual decision, they can appeal it up the judicial ladder.
If they want to call bias on the judge because he happens to be gay, that's a whole new pile of shit.
A couple of months back I got into a discussion with Tom Hymes about the judge dropping out of the case because there was porn on his computer. If a judge can be removed for his personal likes/dislikes the court system will crash.
An example I mentioned at the time was if the Prop8 people would try to go after this gay judge if they lost.
Can a
white judge be biased against a black defendant
Can a
white judge be biased against a white defendant
Can a
black judge be biased against a black defendant
Can a
black judge be biased against a white defendant
Can a
female judge be biased against a male defendant
Can a
female judge be biased against a female defendant
I was mainly discussing this thought though
Can a judge that likes porn be biased against a porn defendant
Can a judge that dislikes porn be biased against a porn defendant
Going by that logic that a judge might be biased means you would never be able to actually proceed with
ANY court case.
Tom called me a subversive, but he tended to agree
