68. Wrong, the law says "equal treatment" under the law
not merely "equal benefits and recognition". Furthermore, the way contracts are broken, and how the law treats it when they are, is a matter of equality.

No, it isn't a different situation. The reason they can't take my child from me is because my marriage and familial arrangements are legally recognized in all 50 states and by the Federal Government. The reason they can take the homosexual couples child is because their union and familial arrangements are not legally recognized in that State. Hence my objection to leaving the issue up to the States.

And if same sex unions are given equal rights and protection, then no state would be able to take away the child due to the Constitution.

Obviously the article of the Constitution YOU laid out is selectively if ever enforced.

Actually, the article I referred to is rarely infringed
