Reply #8: Only Christians can be married. Only white people can be married. [View All]

Under the logic you stated, that would be equality under the law, because it would treat equally all Christians, all white people.

You cannot define an action or policy "equal" under the law if it deprives citizens of their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The ban on gay marriage violates at least two of those. It also makes gay couples second class citizens, and it renders their children second class citizens by proxy.

If one wants to understand whether something is EQUAL, ask not the oppressor, but ask instead the oppressed. Marriage is a right, not a privilege, and its denial is abhorrent to a free society.
