opps, forgot to totally delete the human sacrifice part. I was simply using that as an example of a religious act that is not constitutionally protected.

If you're suggesting that there might be a case to be made that prop8 was an exercise of free religion, and therefore protected by the 1st and 14th amendments, then there is a useful parallel in free speech rights. There was a famous supreme court decision where in the majority opinion a justice wrote that a right to free speech under the 1st amendment does not mean the right to shout "FIRE" in a crowded theater. Libel and slander are similarly not protected as free speech.

I think that something similar probably holds true for religious rights (although I am not specifically familiar with religious rights, I am merely assuming parallel limits on speech and religious rights). Take human sacrifice as an extreme example. Because prop8 infringes so much on the rights of LGBT individuals it is not automatically protected by the 1st amendment.

Thank You Linda! I would also like to send my deepest gratitude to the Courage campaign for being our eyes and ears during this historic trial! It is not recieving nearly the press that it deserves.
And a huge, huge thanks to our straight brothers and sisters that are following along with us. You set a very important example! Bless you all.
And to my LGBT community, Your Family Values are worth fighting for. Yes, the Family Values they say we don't have.

Much love Tim. Sonoma Ca

As some one who HAD lesbian moms, I regret I couldn't be deposed on that subject — well, not cars and oil changes, never drove in my life, but 'Dad things.'

On the other hand, as someone who blames the 'obnoxious teenage boy' syndrome of heterosexuality — 'sex is a game where you 'score'' — sex is something you do to someone rather than with someone, or even the forgettting that both parties can and should enjoy what's happening — on the myths passed on from father to son — maybe it is a good thing that some people don't get taught 'Dad things.'
