The Contradiction of the Case for Gay Marriage

Yup. Truth pretty much always boils down to simple math — and in reality, the gay argument for SMM just doesn’t add up!

Wow, look at you, disproving the whole movement with a couple of simple paragraphs.

Though really, I’m not sure if this is a joke or if you actually believe it. You’re smart enough to know the difference between private and government distinctions. The argument that private acceptance of a distinction implies consent to government discrimination is clearly specious. This is obvious when we look at other forms of antidiscrimination law.

For instance, you believe that Mormons are not the same as Muslims (or Catholics, Unitarians, Zoroastrians). For purposes of private actions — who you choose to worship with, who you would date if single, who you would invite to the wedding — the categories are clearly not the same.

Yet you probably favor laws which grant Mormons the same marriage rights, employment rights, and so on, as every other group.

Suppose the law said, “only weddings solemnized in Catholic churches shall be recognized by law.” You would almost certainly argue that that law is unjust, and that Mormons ought to have the _same_ legal marriage rights as Catholics, even though Mormons and Catholics are _different_.
