The Attorney General of Nebraska is defending his state's Constitutional amendment banning homosexual "marriages."1 This was supported by seventy percent of the state's population, but was struck down by the courts. I am not really sure how a ban on homosexual "marriages" or prohibiting such couples from enjoying other legal protections denies them "participation in the political process," which was the logic used by the federal judge who struck it down. It seems to me they have equal access to the ballot box still, and equal access to run for office, how exactly are they being denied participation?
