So, as you pointed out, the US Constitution is silent about what constitutes a marriage, and you support the rule of the majority, but you support a few men thwarting the will of the majority on Prop 8 because the outcome was not to your liking. As I have said before, liberals read things in the Constitution that are simply not there when it is convenient and ignore little things like the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, etc., whenever they deem it necessary to advance a political agenda.

Barring gays and lesbians from marrying is no more a case of discrimination than banning polygamy is. They have the same right to marry the person of their choice of the opposite sex just the same as heterosexuals have and they have the right to behave as if they are married if they prefer to remain single. The people of California have spoken and their decision should be respected.

No. California had no right, vote or not, to "lessen the status and human dignity" of gays, just like the court said. Some things are not debatable, nor left up to the voting public to define. The constitution has no language that gives states the right to take away citizens having equal rights. Just like the conservatives reading things into the constitution that gives states the right to take away citizens rights to be treated equal? No state has a right to define marriage, if it treats American citizens as lesser, unequal citizens. We will see where this goes, when it reaches the Supreme Court. BTW, when did you leave the computer business and get into constitutional law. I would say that there are 9 justices that will disagree with your supposed knowledge. We will see.
