Okay moron, here we go once again. Discrimination is written into the existing law. One group is told that their relationship is the only valid type. For the law to be nondiscriminatory it would state that ANY TWO CONSENTING ADULTS COULD BE MARRIED so that weould be man/woman, man/man, or woman/woman...equal and fair to hetero and homosexuals. Your failure to admit that the existing law is discriminatory clearly shows that you are a homophobe, your other posts show you to be racist. Just curious, do you also deny the Holocaust?
I really didn't want to have to break out a dictionary on this one, but I'm going to give it one more chance.
The law isn't discriminatory. The law doesn't care who you love. It doesn't care who you have sex with or how you feel about another person.
All it says is that to for two people to participate in a marriage contract they must be of the opposite sex. Which is completely non-discriminatory since it applies to everyone in the same way.
It doesn't say the two participants must love each other, it doesn't say they have to have sex, it doesn't say they even have to be heterosexual.
A homosexual man can get married to a woman. Just like a straight man can get married to a woman. A gay man cannot get married to another man. Just like a straight man cannot get married to another man. Neither straight nor homosexual men can get married to another man. The law is applied equally to both parties.
This is basic legal doctrine and it is the reason gay advocates are failing horribly at attaining their goal. It has nothing to do with gay rights, it has nothing to do with equal rights, and equating any of it to women's suffrage of black civil rights is absolutely outrageous.
If they were to change marriage, it would be a completely new right that ALL people can utilize, regardless of sexual preference. THAT is why the government hasn't been forced to change. Because for one, they are under no obligation to recognize ANY marriage. The government could tomorrow say all marriages are null and void we no longer recognize it as a legal agreement. That is perfectly legal and acceptable to do. If you want power of attorney or all other legal obligations that traditionally come with marriage, hire a lawyer and draft the paperwork.
That is why defining what marriage can be between is perfectly Constitutional because they are under no obligation to legally recognize ANY marriage.
Your argument is purely emotional and has no basis in law or fact.
