States have the power and right to pass any laws that they want, including laws that are pro-slavery, racist discriminatory and/or prejudicial against a minority.
The USA has a history of slavery, racism, discrimination, prejudice as well as genocide. Women did not have the right to vote until fairly recently. Women could not own property until recently. Black and whites could not marry until recently. Blacks and Indians could not vote, because they were not ‘human’ until recently. The 60 million American Indians originally here were reduced in number to 50,000, while being pushed off their land, through force. Blacks were imported from Africa, used and held by force as slaves. This and more all happened despite the Constitution saying that all men are created equal.
However, this great country also has a history of evolving beyond those things. The melting pot that makes up America moves beyond narrow viewpoints to embrace minorities in the long term.
In the short term, sometimes the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is followed and sometimes it is not. Bottom line, the 30 states that passed laws against gay marriage are violating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
History will hopefully show that in the long term, the majority of Americans stood up and defended the minority against the tyranny of the majority. If US citizens cannot see this, hopefully the Supreme Court can defend both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Supreme Court should right this wrong.
