No, I'm not saying that at all. What I am saying, though, is that if you're going to argue that gay marriages should be legalized on the basis of social equalities, that you should argue against all social inequalities and not just one of them.
And my examples were simply to show that there are a great deal of social inequalities in our societies (Whether you agree with the examples given or not). They were simply the first to come to mind.

The issue is, again... equality before the law for adult citizens.
A marriage is a marriage. There is no reason (other than bigotry) to deny these rights.

I asked a question earlier, but I think it was ignored. What do homosexuals lose by denying them the privilege to be married? Better yet, in what ways are they negatively affected?
