No, once more, stop saying things that are not true. I, and others,
believe that everyone will have the same rights as everyone else once
we get government once and for all out of regulating, controlling, or
otherwise providing benefits to marriage. Solving (1) solves (2). You
can solve (2) either buy doing (1) or by increasing the tyranny of
government even more than it already is tyrannical. Those who support
the tyrannical route are statists, whether they are gay or not.
