Alan Shlemon with Stand To Reason
addresses this question:
When you take an honest look at the marriage law, it turns out that there is nothing unfair about it. Homosexuals have the same rights and the same restrictions as heterosexuals. For example, there is no legal right granted to a heterosexual that does not apply in exactly the same way
to every homosexual. Both can marry in any state. Both can marry
someone of the opposite sex. Both can receive the benefits that come
with legal marriage. Heterosexuals and homosexuals are treated alike.
There is also no legal restriction for homosexuals that does not also apply in exactly the same way
to every heterosexual. Neither one can marry their sibling. Both are
prohibited from marrying someone already married. They can’t marry a
child. And neither has the freedom to marry someone of the same sex.
The marriage law applies equally to every person, whether they are homosexual or not. Everyone is treated the same.
Homosexuals cry foul, of course, because the kind of person they are
legally entitled to marry is not a person they love. They believe this
is a restriction that is limited to them. But it’s not. There isn’t a
person in the United States that has unfettered freedom to marry anyone
just because they love them.
