What describes discrimination that is allowed under the equal protection clause?
The equal protection clause of the 14th amendment to the US constitution applies to the states and forbids them from denying any person equal protection of the law. This clause has been interpreted to forbid a state and any of its subsidiarity entities from treating any person different in their various institutional activities. Makes you wonder doesn't it how gay marriage can be forbidden by State laws when it's treating "people," who are not criminals different. The equal protection clause does not apply to private entities (hospitals, stores, restaurants, clubs, etc.), only the State.
