It doesn't,... but then again, it doesn't have to.
For the umpteeeenth time "indifference and discrimination are not the same thing."
A brother can't marry his brother and expect marital benefits (even in a gay marriage is legal State),.... are those brothers being discriminated against?
They are if any state actually did allow brothers to get married, and the other states and the federal government weren't recognizing them as legitimately married. An example. In many states, including Arkansas and Delaware, to name a couple, first cousins are not allowed to marry, however, because of the Full Faith and Credit Clause in the Constitution, those states still have to recognize their marriage from other states that do allow them to get married as legal marriages. And the federal government recognizes their marriages as legal marriages as well. That is the difference.
