Let me be obvious that I have almost nothing against homosexuals, or any other group, advertising their agenda via typical democratic means. It have to at the very least indicate, even so, that regulations exhibiting “ ‘a … motivation to hurt a politically unpopular group, ” ante, at 2, are invalid even however there could be a conceivable rational foundation to aid them. This reasoning leaves on fairly shaky grounds condition rules limiting relationship to reverse-sexual intercourse couples. Justice OConnor seeks to maintain them by the conclusory statement that “preserving the common establishment of marriage” is a legit condition interest. Justice OConnor just decrees application of “a far more exploring sort of rational foundation review” to the Texas statute. Texass desire in §21.06 could be recast in in the same way euphemistic terms: “preserving the conventional sexual mores of our culture.” In the jurisprudence Justice OConnor has seemingly established, judges can validate legislation by characterizing them as “preserving the traditions of society” (good) or invalidate them by characterizing them as “expressing ethical disapproval” (terrible).
