You were the one who brought up medical reasons to support only what you think is self determination(a sexual preference!).
My advice is the same to all those angry gay men in existing personal relationships, grow up, stop playing the victim , validate your own personal relationship.
Or don't as you seem to want to think I want to stop homosexuals from having personal relationships.
You didn't listen and you don't understand that a govt cannot force a change in the social definition of marriage, a social institution, without a social mandate.
You are divided and so you argue, many in this " changing the social definition of marriage "debate lose happiness in their personal relationship thinking it is unequal to other personal relationships.
Meanwhile in other parts of the world has the injustice of death for homosexuals and yet for all this media attention none of you try to make the changes that are needed and just fight for what you already have while your brothers get killed for being gay. Why don't you seek to change the injustice instead of imagining it where it doesn't exist.
Marriage was and is a social institution, my points were not lost on most of the thread readers.

First off my logic isn't a fallacy, yours is if you're claiming that marriage between 2 people of the same sex is legal because it's not (yet).
And if you want to use logic we can look at traditional marriage, gay marriage, and polygamy this way.
If A(male) + B (female) = C (legal marriage)
Yet B + B = D (illegal)
And A + B + B = D (illegal)
Therefore D = D (gay marriage) = (polygamy) as far as legality goes in most of the country
Logic says they are the same.

Why are you going to discriminate against my *choice* of lifestyle while I can't? Because marriage has always been about TWO PEOPLE? I thought for the most part MARRIAGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT TWO PEOPLE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX? Except for the past decade maybe...
Oh yeah and polygamy isn't a choice, I knew I was born polygamous.

Actually some people could argue that their brain chemistry has made it so they were born to have multple wives, nowadays we call those people cheaters, so I guess I answered my own question.
though, i don't care about polygamy, if you want multiple marriage, be my guest

Or maybe they are not looking for acceptance, but instead to simply be free from discrimination.
