That doesn't make any sense. No rational person claims either is superior, it's not a competition.
But if I "accept" that, then no, they should be treated the same. Why shouldn't they be? Should someone less intelligent than me be treated worse? Someone worse than me at basketball?
You say "no rational person claims either is superior" but I provided you with a thought experiment which shows they are not equivalents. If they are not equivalents then one is superior than the other. Theists have a rational basis for their beliefs that heterosexuality is superior to homosexuality. Moving back toward the subject of this thread.....a theistic baker has a rational basis to differentiate a homosexual wedding from a straight wedding. If they have a rational basis to differentiate, doesn't that mean they have a rational reason to discriminate?
By your 'logic,' anyone who is infertile is inferior to those who are fertile and therefore should be shunned by society just like you christers would like to do to gays.
Face it Woody, you assholes are looking for excuses to not only harbor you bigoted views, but to express them. No, not all people are equal, but they are supposed to be equal under the law. Guess what. That means you don't get to kick the gays out.

If the gay marriage is performed at a church then it is a religious ceremony. In that case the baker is being forced to participate in a religious ceremony. That means, the state is establishing a religion and forcing everyone to participate.
Chad, you're just flailing about to justify your bigotry.
