Re: Federal judge strikes down Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage
The courts have not said anything about what I said. The laws are what we are talking about. The laws prevent two people of the same sex from getting married, no matter their sexuality. There is no sexuality question or test when it comes to marriage. Two homosexuals can get married, as long as they are of the opposite sex.
The reason the law discriminates mainly against homosexuals is because homosexuals are the main group that would want to marry someone of the same sex. However, that does not change the fact that the laws discriminate against everyone, not just homosexuals. I, as a heterosexual, am being discriminated against with the laws restricting marriage to only opposite sex couples because should I ever be in the position to choose to remarry in the future (for whatever reason), as of right now, I can only choose to marry a man because I am a woman. My gender, not my sexuality is restricting who I can marry.
I quoted again and again and again where the courts said exactly what I say they did.
