Bodza OK Perhaps a little visual aid would help. Let's look at the Loving vs. Virginia case in the USA for a moment. The state claimed that the races were treated equally since the law applied equally to both. Their view of equality looked like this: A Black man or A white man or woman may marry woman may marry ---------------------------------------------------------- A black man YES NO or woman ---------------------------------------------------------- A white man NO YES or woman ---------------------------------------------------------- This was the fundamental question the SCOTUS had to look at. Were the races being treated equally? The presence of the word NO anywhere in the chart above indicates they are not. The SCOTUS then said that if races were to be treated equally, then the chart would like like this: A Black man or A white man or woman may marry woman may marry ---------------------------------------------------------- A black man YES YES or woman ---------------------------------------------------------- A white man YES YES or woman ---------------------------------------------------------- Now you are making the claim that the lovees are treated equally. A man may not marry another man just as a woman my not marry another women thus you claim the lovees are treated equally. Lets take a look at that in chart form: A man may marry A woman may marry -------------------------------------------------------- NO YES a man -------------------------------------------------------- YES NO a woman -------------------------------------------------------- Discrimination based on love is outlawed just like discrimination based on race. In order for the lovees to be treated equally, there must not be any NO boxes on the chart: A man may marry A woman may marry -------------------------------------------------------- YES YES a man -------------------------------------------------------- YES YES a woman -------------------------------------------------------- -- +==================== L.
