Finally, regardless of what many are saying, everybody in our state already has equal rights when it comes to being married; every citizen in this state, regardless of his or her “sexual orientation,” has the same right as any other citizen to marry a person of the opposite sex.”

...but that argument is intrinsically flawed on its face.

What we are talking about is real equality in authentic, loving, comitted same sex relationships and most people are in agreement about that. 

If I marry a woman for “cover” but carry on with man to man sexual encounters, a la Larry Craig or Mark Foley, it would seem to me that is a fraudulent “marriage” and hardly worth holding up as the model for everyone to aspire to just because opposite sexes are involved.
