Who is discriminating against gays? Two hetrosexual men can't marry,
two gay men can't marry.

So let's say that churches are banned but both Christians and Muslims are
freely allowed to attend mosque. No discrimination?

no you were not, you're not capable of it, you're just reacting.

In a sane world, the forces that want to re-define marriage would have to
amend the Constitution, or at least the state constitutions. That's what was
required, for example, to end slavery, to give women the vote, to create an
income tax (big mistake!), to prohibit strong drink. No one can seriously
argue that the letter or spirit of the existing legal framework mandates gay
marriage. And shut up with the idiotic comparisons to Rosa Parks; the
differences between the sexes are real and substantial, which is why you
don't hear anyone calling for an end to "separate but equal" restrooms. And
even people who favor gay marriage should worry about an out-of-control
judiciary that can create law without statutory basis or precedent. If you
want it, play by the rules to get it. And if there are no rules, then don't
come crying for justice when you feel the taste of the lash across your
pitiful shoulders.

three men/women to marry -- from child custody to inheritance. Use your
brain and study your government and it's most important document before
you
go around spouting off your baseless charges that other people don't know
what they're thinking by fighting for their rights.

Wasn't required, for example, to allow dual citizenship, to let the
president fight wars without permission of Congress, to end child labor, or
to prohibit marijuana. Your examples are cherry-picked nonsense.

No one can seriously argue that the letter or spirit of the existing legal
framework mandates gay marriage.

Who's mandating gay marriage? You are free not to marry a man.

This is EXACTLY the kind of things people said when it was proposed that whites
and blacks could marry. And it's the same ugly thing.


What if 3 men want to marry each other?
Where does it end?

Look up 'slippery slope.'

Yeah, don't look at the Income tax system that was designed to only
tax the ultra rich. Wages were not taxable.

Now look what we have.








Get some new material.

Its discrimination based on GENDER.

If rwo heterosexual men want to marry, why shouldn't they be able to?

Tgat;s why it's a fallacy to say that "same-sex marriage" would give
"special-rights" to homosexuals...if fir whatever reason two non-related,
informed, consenting adults wished to have a secul marriage..would be able
to.
