well, the US constitution doesn't prohibit discrimination for reasons of
sexual orientation (unless they've passed an amendment recently that
does, but i think i would have heard about it...)
in the US, the main problem with "same-sex marriages" is that the common
definition of _marriage_ makes a "same-sex marriage" impossible... i
don't think the government should have the right to change the definition
of a word (if they can do that, they can just ignore the constitution,
and that would be a Bad Thing...)
