Legality of gay marriage
I just had a thought on the legal status of gay marriage. If you look at marriage as a contract between two people, then the government is denying certain people from signing that contract based on their gender. I'm almost certain there should be some kind of anti-discrimination law that could be used to present an attack for gay marriage with that thought process.

However, I can't recall of a court case being based off of this, so I'm guessing there's some flaw in my logic. Probably in the way marriage is a license and not a contract. Although I would still think that you couldn't deny licenses based on gender. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the law to know for certain. Although if someone out there has some better ideas on this, I'd love to hear them.
