No the analogy is not exact, nor legally the same... HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 23/10/2012 07:33:25 PM
I was using it to illustrate a similularity in concept. BTW you used to not be able to get private boat insurance either until sombody decided to offer it.

The essential argument remains unchanged, A gay man and a strait man have the EXACT SAME access to teh EXACT SAME marriage. "..but it isn't the person I love..." is not a legal factor. You will not find "love" anywhere in the law. "..but it isn't the person I want to marry..." falls into the same bucket.

School segregation is not a good analogy because there is only 1 "marraige" not 2, (no white school/black school). Well unless there are any states that have actually created a second set of laws empowering gay marraige, without removing the hetrosexual marraige laws; which would be incredibly stupid because it would open up the whole "seperate but equal" arguments.

"for" was poor word choice, I thought about going back and editing, but thought my point would still get accross; apparently not, so I will rephrase.

"..but I don't WANT that type of marriage..." Is not you being discriminated against. It is you not wanting to participate in what currently exists.
