Marriage is an institution defined clearly and which applies that definition equally to everyone. And anyone who voluntarily wishes to accept the terms of marriage can be married. Another institution which is also defined in the same way, but is even more exclusive in the application than marriage, is medicine. If you want to be a doctor you have to have enough money (excludes the poor), and commit yourself to earning grades (excludes the stupid, lazy, insane and developmentally challenged) and believe in western medicine (excludes those who believe medicine is evil). This definition is much more exclusive than marriage, and clearly prevents all of these people from being able to even hope to be medical doctors, even if they are willing to abide by the terms.
So, if someone argues that traditional marriage is discriminatory then simply point out to them that you must then be a medical doctor, and demand they let you practice on them. If they don't then they must be just as bigoted against the insane, retarded, lazy, stupid, poor and those who are ideologically anti-medicine as they say you are against homosexuals.
