Reply #16: That's actually not a good comparison. [View All]

As it exists now, I, as a straight person, have the same marital restrictions as a homosexual person. Everyone has those restrictions regarding gender and marriage. I can not marry someone of the same sex. Homosexuals can marry someone of the opposite sex. There is no legal inequality, until you get to preference, and laws are not based on that.

There was no such equal treatment of the entire population when it came to race and marriage.

So there's that, and the insulting nature of comparing race to sexual preference.

I wish I could stick around to discuss this, because I think it's important to get the legal aspect correct and I'm sure this thread will devolve into a name-calling battle, but I have to get to a meeting. If you'd like to PM me to discuss this, feel free.
