In regards to the information sharing act you referenced, before we can jump to the conclusion that this is "profiling" (which I don't find to be such a bad thing at all when it comes to security issues), we have to ask what other information is being gathered and how it is being used, per this act. It's all about context in regards to the accuracy of your assessment concerning that this is actually "profiling" in a way that violates the Constitution.

You say that orientation is not a deciding factor in marriage, but gender is. The argument that marriage is optional is true, but so is voting. The difference is access. If I don't have access I don't have the option.
As far as the security act, I'm of the opinion that sexual orientation has zero to do with terrorism. I've yet to see a drag queen brigade hijack a plane or a group of bears set fire to a forest...
