Equality under the law doesn't usually come about unless society's views are changing, and at the same time, societal views can be changed by new laws. Gay Marriage is a good example of this.
Being linked and being the same thing are two different things. No one said the one doesn't affect the other. The goalposts are moving here, after the kick is in the air.
I'm pointing out that they cannot reasonably be argued to be the same thing, which is what you wrote originally.
Fair point, I stand corrected. I shouldn’t have used the word “same” when I should have said “similar” / “linked”.
