The Constitution is the basis for all US Law. No where is it written or implied that it is a living document. I find it dangerous to consider our founding document as just a "guideline". With that logic a President Trump with a Republican Congress could pass all sorts of laws in violation of the Constitution as written but dismiss concerns as the will of the people, since they elected us and the old paper is actually a living document.
No thank you, lets keep things as they are. A Constitution that is eternal, a touchstone, a marker to keep us grounded to the ideals on which our Nation was founded.
Are we perfect, hardly. But in the history of the world no place has been better for minorities including the LGBT than the USA.
