RE: Equal Rights
No Sike, people should be less PC and more real. Many are to scared to openly discuss topics for fear of offending others.
Discrimination is wrong for society, and not discriminating is a legal obligation. Public policy is to not treat one group of citizens differently then another. The state has determined it should regulate marriage (a marriage license) and set the rules of marriage. Those rules should be evenly applied to all the citizens, so if there are any benefits or extraordinary rights associated with marriage all citizens should have equal access to those.
What public good is acheived by denying adults the right to pick their partner of choice? The answer is none.
Treat everyone equally. How can that not be best for all?
