Re the 14th Am. if you want to go by "original intent," arguably the framers and ratifiers did not INTEND to outlaw segregation in public schools or bans on interracial marriages. But I'll wait for you to respond, "those things (what was struck down in Brown and Loving) like sodomy laws, are very stupid and should be repealed by legislatures, but they are not unconstitutional."

Yet who is making a stink about the ADEA and how older people aren't "blacks" and therefore shouldn't receive "civil rights" protection?

And at the state level, many more. In fact "sexual orientation" receives antidiscrimination protection in about half of the states.

"The only possible civil right that homosexuals don’t share is the right to marriage. They already have all other civil rights just like everyone else.
"If you’re not ready to argue that marriage is a civil right, then there’s nothing to argue about in that context."
Not true at all. Marriage is but one issue of many in the sexual orientation, the law, & society controversy. There is also antidiscrimination, hate crimes, the military, sodomy laws. Personally I'm happy that the Supreme Court struck down sodomy laws in Lawrence v. Texas. But some social conservatives are not. But then again, I'm a libertarian, not a conservative and I suspect "Seneca" is too.

You can continue to tell homosexuals that their "lifestyle" will send them to Hell; however we can't build American politics around this notion. Mormons and Trinity deniers (like David Kupelian) likewise go to Hell because of their "choices." On this premise Christendom used to burn them (I know Mormons weren't around then) for freely speaking their mind and practicing their faith.
"It is also hateful to let them continue a lifestyle that shortens their life."
There are no credible statistics that show homosexuality shortens your life.

The Founding is far more complex than those of you wish.

Maybe the problem is America itself. "Nature's God' arguable is not the God of the Bible, but rather the God of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Ben Franklin, the men who wrote the DOI.
