It's fascinating that they only used rational basis instead of intermediate or strict scrutiny. While precedent currently places sexual orientation in the realm of rational basis, I think that an extremely strong case could be made that a law concerning the right of gays to marry involves a suspect classification. All of the following criteria appear to be true:

- The group has historically been discriminated against, and/or have been subject to prejudice, hostility, and/or stigma, perhaps due, at least in part, to stereotypes.

- The group is a "discrete" or "insular" minority.

- They possess an immutable and/or highly visible trait.

- They are powerless to protect themselves via the political process. (In this case, they are subject to the tyranny of the majority.)

It will be interesting to see what happens when this reaches the Supreme Court.

But this isn't reviewing a government action; it's reviewing a citizen initiative. It seems like the "community standards" argument must surely hold here if it does anywhere, even if the community is being irrational.
