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?
