All I can say is that if your interest is in proving that America is A FUNDAMENTALIST FASCIST STATE*, then keep going. Why you would want to do that is your own issue, but I don't need to guess about it.

You could be absolutely correct: the future of the earth and human society may revolve around hatred, violence, discrimination, and destruction, but in that case (rationally) I suspect it won't be that long: your children are warriors, we will all die by the sword

Fortunately, I would point to the other three categories under suspect discrimination WRT to the law (that is, the ones you did not highlight):

1. a "discrete" or "insular" minority[1] who
3. share a history of discrimination, and
4. are powerless to protect themselves via the political process.

all of which very clearly and easily could be used to describe homosexuals and also support my contention that this is not simply about what MUST OR NEED BE "an immutable characteristic".

* perhaps at war w/ other fundamentalist fascist "states" -- nice move, Daved. Hopefully all our logic will be solved in APOCALYPSE.
