We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

And then to clarify what was meant by all

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Amendment XXVI - We said All, damn it. Voting age lowered to 18 - Nixon elected in landslide.
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of age.

I don't know about y'all but gay marriage isn't really making me feel less secure in my heterosexuality. I haven't noticed a lot my fellow breeders exclaiming "Hooo Boy! Now that gays are marrying, I think I'm going to go ask my neighbor to settle down and drive up property values in depressed areas and maybe raise dachshunds. I feel the gayness washing over me now! My marriage is suddenly worthless to me! I think I'll go wipe my ass with my marriage license!"

Puh-lease.

Gay marriage isn't going to bring down "our way of life" or cause the birth rate to plummet. or bring on Armageddon. All gay marriage will lead to is gay divorce.

No where does it say All Straight Men are created equal, it says All Men and fifty years later, it was amended to say All Women. No where does it say sexual preference. It says ALL. All means all, every, the whole lot can pursue happiness. It's an unalienable right, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness…

Prohibition got passed to appease a similar set of religious zealots and that was supposed to protect the institution of marriage too.

Amendment XVIII - Prohibition 1919
Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.

Amendment XXIc - Repealing Prohibition 1933
Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
Section 2. The transportation or importation into any state, territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.

Marriage Survived. I have no doubt that eventully, All will mean All
