Why do you think that is not discriminatory?
I forgot to address this. It is purposefully discriminatory to achieve a given purpose, but it does not discriminate between people in its application.
So, you admit that our laws
are in fact discriminatory.
Well, I reject your given purpose. Neither you nor anyone else has the right to determine what the given purpose of an individual's life is. We don't pass laws limiting people's individual actions for
any purpose, unless it can be shown that those actions affect society as a whole. Neither you nor any other opponent of gay marriage has provided any proof that said marriages would affect others whatsoever; all you have done is continually indulge in logical fallacies, such as Appealing to Tradition and Appealing to Extremes.
I will say, that I was wrong; in that I had claimed you would never admit that you support discrimination. Well, here you clearly have admitted that you support continual discrimination against others. It's not often to see bigots wear their badges so proudly, and I salute you for your honesty, while simultaneously denouncing you for your hatefulness towards others, whose lives and decisions have little to do with you.
