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.
Christ in a handbasket, I am so fucking sick of this intentional, slimy twisting of what's actually being argued, as if purposefully misrepresenting the actual position absolves you of having to answer for it.
"Oh, we've all got the same rights now!" No, we don't. You, as a heterosexual, have the right to marry someone that you love and are sexually attracted to (within the confines of consent and what's harmful or not, because if I hear one more argument about marrying dogs or children I'm going to explode) and in many states, a homosexual person does not have the right to marry the person they love and are sexually attracted to.
Why do christians feel the need to flee at top speed from what's actually being argued, on this issue? Why all the deflection, the irrelevant side issues like this one, and the argument about children, and god, and all that? Why don't you guys see that, if you have to lie to preserve your position, it probably doesn't deserve to be preserved to begin with?
