“I have said “equality under the law”.”

As I said previously, no one has the right to marry whomever they want. This is equality. What people are demanding is special rights, not equal rights. They are demanding that their particular favourite relationship be recognized as marriage.

Every individual can marry and can choose to marry a man or a woman, someone of the opposite sex. So no individual is being treated differently or excluded.

“You can’t deny a homosexual under the law”

If a gay man wishes to marry a woman then why would I want to stop them?

“That’s not what they want”

Query, does the law surrounding marriage have sweet diddly poo to do with what people want? Why not have polygamy? Marriage between minors? Again, marriage has nothing to do with what people want, but everything to do with society. Why does society recognize marriage between one man and one woman? Because that is how society perpetuates itself.

Gay marriage does not do this. Ergo, it is unworthy of the same status as traditional marriage.

“send marriage back to the Churches and get the Government out of it.”

Thanks to Kerry we have de facto federal recognition of gay marriage. Your argument is a failure, once again.
