Sorry, I don't see how the argument falls apart. Can you point out the specific step that fails? I can see how it would fall apart if the goal was to deprive certain people of their right to vote, but that seems to be different from what you're saying.

The right of consenting adults to enter, unfettered, into loving committed relationships is rather fundamental to the way Western society works.

If you think it should be put up for vote, be prepared to put your right up for vote first.

As someone who was brought up in a non-married home, I can assure you that marriage isn't required to have loving committed relationships. I'd vote against Prop.8 because eliminating the gender/sexuality discrimination is still a positive move, but if there was an option to eliminate all State-granted marriages, I'd vote for that instead.
