Gay Marriage

My understanding of EP law is that the LAW has to discriminate, either facially or by disparate impact, on the basis of the characteristic of the group.
When the characteristic has to appear explicitly in the law, as per your understanding, that's a good indication that it's a limitation, and thus discriminatory.

So what if the Commonwealth of Virginia had said, marriage isn't defined as two one man and one woman, it's defined as a man and a woman of the same race?


Please advise as to polygamous civil unions, gay or otherwise.
