You're right, RR. Gay couples and straight couples are different. What you and your neanderthal buddies don't seem to get (and I'm seriously beginning to believe it's intentional obtuseness), is that those different are supposed to be treated equally under the law.

Bullshit. Just because something is different, doesn't mean it's not equal.
8+8 = 4*4 = 128/8 <----- They're all different yet they're all equal.
For fuck's sake, the logic your using could just as easily be used by segregation era racial bigots (a mixed race couple is different, and therefore not equal), and probably was.
Bigotry is bigotry no matter how you dress it up and try to defend it. You claim it's a sin? Well, the Seventh Day Adventists claim to this day that mixing the races is a sin and can provide "scriptural evidence" to back it up. Are you going to defend the retrograde position of your SDA brothers in christ with the same fervor with which you defend your own?

Under the law? Bet your ass they're certainly supposed to be.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
