In point of fact, everyone already had exactly the same rights. Anyone could marry any one else so long as they were of the opposite sex. That was the rule for everyone. There was no discrimination. As a matter of public policy, a heterosexual man was equally denied the option to marry another man. Anyone who hopes to get Social Security some day has an interest in population growth, so as a matter of public policy it makes some sense to reward behaviors that could potentially generate more young people. Whether the justification for that policy was valid or not is an open question. It has nothing to do with hate and it is wrong to vilify Christians just because you disagree with their politics. Since the dawn of time, the sacramental and political aspects of marriage have been entwined. I personally think it is a good thing to separate them. If it were me, I would have removed public recognition of marriage altogether and dump everyone into a civil unions.
