Gay Rights versus the rights of Christians. Guess which one is actually in the Constitution.

_______________

ummmm,neither?

First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The right to freely exercise religion it the FIRST thing addressed by the bill of rights. The very first thing.

Nice try. Those are the rights of the people, a subset of whom are Christian, another subset would be gay people. So your comment applies equally to both.
