“The constitutional issue is quite simple. The Supreme Court repeatedly has held that the right to marry the person of your choice is a fundamental human right guaranteed by the equal-protection and due-process clauses of the Constitution”

SOUNDBITES — “People’s personal views of the appropriateness of same-sex relationships naturally influence their views of our lawsuit. However, it is important to remember that the legal question does not, and under our Constitution cannot, depend on people’s personal preferences. The constitutional issue is quite simple. The Supreme Court repeatedly has held that the right to marry the person of your choice is a fundamental human right guaranteed by the equal-protection and due-process clauses of the Constitution.” —Perry v Schwarzenegger attorney David Boies, who, as a Christian, disagrees that “same-sex marriages are inconsistent with religious teachings” and notes, as a lawyer, “it is irrelevant” [Philadelphia Inquirer]
