"You mentioned here that same-sex marriage may have benefits which outweigh its `` abnormal `` nature . I must point out that even if we consider it abnormal , there is no reason to suggest that abnormal is somehow bad . In a free and equal society , abnormal deserves all the rights and privleges thet normal receives . Any benefits that exist in allowing same-sex marriage are n't being weighed down by abnormality . [ quote ] The concept of equality is a lot easier to conceptualize than to put into practice . We , as a society , preach equality in principle , but practice inequality in all aspects of our lives . As I mentioned above , the tax code is a great example of institutionalized inequality . Businesses practice institutionalized inequality daily . For example , I am considered , by my employer , to be an HCI ( highly compensated individual ) . As a result , I pay a much higher rate for the same healthcare coverage that my fellow employees get . Is that fair ? I guess as I get older , I worry less about abstract concepts that sound good in theory but do n't exist in practice . [ quote ] Well , I wo n't argue that we will never be truly equal , and I wo n't argue that equality is the answer to everything , but I will argue that equality is worth striving for and that equality does exist in practice , it is just so ingrained into our mindset that we forget it is there . Compare US law to the laws of Europe before the revolution . In Europe there existed classes of nobles with extra rights under the law as well as kings and royalty with even more rights . As you went higher up in class , you 'd get more and more political power . In America , we all have one vote . We all have an equal ability to participate in government . It is true that we use that vote to choose someone to make decisions for us in the government , but our ability to participate in government set a new precedent in equality . Consider even slaves or women 's rights . These are cases where equality won out not just in theory but in practice . I will admit that we can not simply just make everyone equal in every way , but we do our best to give them equal rights and equal represenation . In the case of same-sex marriage , I can think of no reason why we should not extend the same rights that opposite-sex couples have to same-sex couples ( and plenty of reasons why we should ) ."
