"Homosexuals use that (comparison), but they can eat anywhere they want, they can sleep anywhere they want, buy anything they want," William said. "Their rights are not violated."
Bishop William Harris and his wife, Linda, have been married 37 years.

As long as they're married to someone of the opposite sex, I don't see any reason why they can't marry.
However, we can no longer afford to treat homosexuality as it was "normal". Anyone with sense knows these people need help, and it is inhumane to foster fantasies of "normalicy" within such communities when they so urgently need psychological attention. Homosexuality is a mental illness, and should be treated just as any other sociopathic condition.
Here's a tidbit I found recently courtesy of another FReeper.
No we can't.
Because their insistance on changing an institution that is milleniums old, and instituted in every culture, that of a bond between a Man and a Woman is not merely their own business, but that of society's.
It is an abomination, putting the fluid dicharge organ into the solid discharge organ.
Los Angeles, CA-- It's been two years since male models Steve and Mark applied for a marriage license in Los Angeles county and were told by the county clerk that their application could not be accepted.
"She actually laughed in our faces and thought it was a joke," says Steve, a 6'3" muscular 24 year old.
"I told her she was a fat cow," Mark adds, smiling.
Mark and Steve, who have been living together in a charming tudor style cottage on Coldwater Canyon for the past five years now find themselves facing down the system once again.
"We are each other's best friends," says Mark, 22, and an inch taller than Steve. "We do everything together. We want to be married, to make it official."
Just back from fashion week photo shoots in Milan, Steve and Mark pledge to join the ranks of other same sex couples who have bucked the system in San Francisco this week, and line up to get a marriage license from civil rights activist Mayor Gavin Newsom.
"We bought Armani suits in Milan and have a fitting today," declares Steve. "Friends are flying in for the ceremony--"
"We've written our own vows," Mark interrupts. He takes Steve's hand and gives it a squeeze. "We love each other, and that's all that matters."
But not everyone is supportive of the two handsome young men.
"It's disgusting. They should be arrested," says 87 year old neighbor Alice Walsh.
And Mark isn't so sure the two will be welcomed with open arms at San Francisco City Hall, either.
After all, the two aren't just gay men; they're brothers. Mark and Steve Parker have the same biological mother and father, and really did grow up together. The two argue that their union should be no more objectionable than any other union of men.
"It's not like we can make a baby together," says Steve.
"But that taboo about siblings getting married or having sex with each other is still there," says Mark. "But why? I mean, seriously."
Whether Mayor Newsom is ready to put his stamp of approval on Mark and Steve's love remains to be seen.
And it is still an abomination, no matter who is doing it.
