Will you demonstrate how it's a non-sequitur?

Quote:
No one is calling their relationship invalid. If anything, we (And I mean society as a hole) deems it to not have the same value to society as a relationship between a man and a woman. Now, if your relationship is only "legitimized" or "validated" by a marriage license, then your relationship was a farce, anyway.
Okay, so homosexual relationships aren't as good as "normal" ones, eh? Nice.

I sincerely doubt the typical gay couple would view marriage as the only way to legitimize the relationship, especially since (even to this day) many of them can't even marry in the first place. The effect, however, is that by denying them that access, it sends the message you've already sent: You aren't as good as us because you're gay. Which is utter bullshit.
