The issues of same sex marriage are those of acceptance and benefit, neither of which are constitutionally guaranteed.
I disagree, Alan. Completely.

Let me put it this way.....If you believe in the Constitution (?) that states all men are created equal, then should it not be legal for me to marry another man - and have it be the same as you yourself marrying a woman? Both should have the same set of rights and responsibilities - and the unfortunatey messy potential for divorce. To me this is all men being created equal. I can't tell you for how many years I have felt disconnected from society - as I said, just going through the motions - here is another reason - the reality for some is that not all men are created equal. Walk a mile in these shoes.....you might very well see this differently. Rob
