Would someone please point out to the people at GLAD that legislation worded as follows: ANY man may marry ANY woman - and ANY woman may marry ANY man. NO man may marry another man - and NO woman may marry another woman. That legislation would be - by definition - ALL INCLUSIVE - NON DESCRIMINATORY! To say otherwise would be like saying that laws against murder would be descriminatory against those who would murder. Disagree with the legislation if you wish - but stop telling me it is descriminatory! Because by definition IT IS NOT!! Got it??

ANY man may marry ANY woman - and ANY woman may marry ANY man. NO man may marry another man - and NO woman may marry another woman. That legislation would be - by definition - ALL INCLUSIVE - NON DESCRIMINATORY!
Here's the same argument, circa 1950:
"ANY white man may marry ANY white woman - and ANY white woman may marry ANY white man. NO white man may marry a black woman - and NO white woman may marry a black man. That legislation would be - by definition - ALL INCLUSIVE - NON DESCRIMINATORY!"
Well, gee, that's reassuring that the law guarantees them the right to marry someone they don't feel anything for. (I mean, they might marry a friend of the opposite gender that they feel close to, but it still wouldn't feel right, I'm sure.)
"Would someone please point out to the people at GLAD that legislation worded as follows: ANY man may marry ANY woman - and ANY woman may marry ANY man."
Well, this legislation should be wildly popular in Fundyland. Now they can all finally marry their siblings, or take child brides legally just like they always wanted.
Except the law marriage is "descriminatory" because only heterosexuals can marry someone they actually love and have feelings for. I, as a homosexual, cannot do that because I will never love, in a romantic manner, someone of the opposite sex. And that, my befuddled mixter, is how the legislation is "descriminatory."
True any man can marry a woman he's committed to. The key phrase is committed to. If I'm committed to a woman, and can marry her, another woman who is committed to a woman should be allowed. Vice versa for men.
Ok, let me walk you through this again.
Equal protection is a guarantee of the Constitution in the 14th amendment. The amendment's Equal Protection Clause requires states to provide equal protection under the law to all people within their jurisdictions.
Now, my wife has the right to marry a man, I, however, do not have the right to marry a man based solely on my sex. The government is not supposed to discriminate based on someone's sex. So denying me the right to marry a man while allowing that right to a woman, is sexual discrimination and is against the law.
That legislation would be - by definition - ALL INCLUSIVE - NON DESCRIMINATORY!
By definition, it's discriminatory. Oh, and don't compare homosexuals to murderers. Murderers go out and take away someone else's life whereas homosexuals just want the same rights as everyone else (aka: not taking away anything, really).

Aren't fundies usually the ones claiming that homosexuals are paving the way for pedophilia and incest? And yet here you are rolling out the red carpet for pedophilia and incest. Truly baffling.
@dionysus
Not to mention divorce. I mean, judging by this, I can marry ANY woman, even ones that are already married.
Or dead.
Eww.
Actually, no, it's pretty discriminatory as written, because legislation is not divine. Laws against murder are in fact discriminatory against serial killers, but this sort of discrimination is generally considered justified because it provides a net beneficial effect on society at large, but discrimination against gays does no such thing.
"ANY man may marry ANY woman - and ANY woman may marry ANY man. NO man may marry another man - and NO woman may marry another woman. That legislation would be - by definition - ALL INCLUSIVE - NON DESCRIMINATORY!"
I don't see what the issue is. He is right. I can't marry a man and I'm straight. How does this discriminate against gays? Oh, right, the whole "person you love" argument. Like that's the only reason people marry...lame!
Would someone please point out to the people at GLAD that legislation worded as follows: ANY Christian may marry ANY Muslim - and ANY Muslim may marry ANY Christian. NO Christian may marry another Christian - and NO Muslim may marry another Muslim. That legislation would be - by definition - ALL INCLUSIVE - NON DESCRIMINATORY! To say otherwise would be like saying that laws against murder would be descriminatory against those who would murder.

P.S. Learn to spell discriminatory, you twat.
If you would, just for a second, take your industrial strength bigot goggles off (Acts 9:18, perhaps?) you might just understand what Leviticus 19:18 means. But if not, Matthew 7:1-5!
ANY man may marry ANY man - and ANY woman may marry ANY woman. NO man may marry another woman - and NO woman may marry another man. That legislation would be - by definition - ALL INCLUSIVE - NON DESCRIMINATORY!
Fixed for the fundies, and still just as accurate!
It's discriminatory and GLAAD. If you insist on being stupid, the least you could do is spell correctly. Murder is a crime, there are laws against murder. There aren't any laws currently on the books against homosexuality. Murder and homosexuality are two completely different things, you can't compare them.
Kind of hard to marry a man when you aren't attracted to any of them, you fucking asshole. It wouldn't be fair to him or me.
Bet you'd have a different tune if the law said only same-sex marriage were legal. Cause then EVERY man would be able to marry ANY man... and what is discriminatory about that??
Would someone please point out to the people at GLAD that legislation worded as follows: ANY WHITE MAN may marry ANY WHITE WOMAN - and ANY BLACK MAN may marry ANY BLACK WOMAN. NO black may marry a white - and NO white may marry a black. That legislation would be - by definition - ALL INCLUSIVE - NON DESCRIMINATORY! To say otherwise would be like saying that laws against murder would be descriminatory against those who would murder.

Surely this argument has been used before
BEING GAY IS LIKE MURDER, round 11 thousand. It's fucking sad that no only do you think that's a valid comparison, but it's been trotted so many times I'm actually tired of hearing it at this point. How can so many people be so fucking hateful and stupid?
Anyway, the argument that "no man can marry another man and no woman can marry another woman" is "all-inclusive" is pretty much deliberately missing the point. I find it difficult to believe that anyone ACTUALLY thinks this is a valid argument and isn't just using it as an excuse to discriminate. I mean, come on, you wrote "NO man may marry another man." The word "NO" is in big letters and everything. It's right there! How do you not see it?!
Look. If Bob and Alice can get married, but Tom and Dave can't married, and Susie and Mary can't get married, THOSE COUPLES AREN'T EQUAL. THE GAY COUPLES DON'T HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS THE STRAIGHT ONE. HOW DO YOU NOT GET THIS. FUCK.

Ohhh I get it. So by your logic if I see a hot guy and want him all I have to do is run up and drug him or club him over the head with a large heavy object and then dress him up in a tux and kidnapp him bringing him into the church and lawfully marrying him while hes unconscious and unable to give consent? But I cant do this with another woman? Gee... thanks for clearing that up Ill get right on that! YAY IM GETTIN HITCHED! /sarcasm
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
