Treat equals equally.
If parties are not equal in a relevant sense, then there is no obligation of justice to treat them the same. When someone demands the same recognition for homosexual unions as for heterosexual unions, remind him of the rule of justice. Then ask if homosexual relationships are really equal with heterosexual ones. If there are essential differences, then the two are not equal and there is no moral obligation to treat them as if they were. Reproduction permitted for non-commercial use only.
