Personally I think this "suspect classification" is legalese-style nonsense. No gay person is barred from voting, from eating at a McDonald's, from owning a home, or hundreds of other things that Americans do every day. America has been guilty of real institutional discrimination against legitimate minorities in its past. It doesn't even come close to the so-called discrimination that gay people say they experience today.
You don't know what you're talking about. Being barred or not from eating at McDonald's doesn't implicate the Constitution.
