What does it matter? You were making the argument that gay marriage is "a promise of bloodline", that marriage is about conceiving babies. From that it only follows that you should take the same kind of aversion to heterosexuals who can't or won't make babies getting married. But you don't care about that, so your objection is obviously not about the ability to conceive children.

As for why they want it... no, now you're just trolling.

Then you seem to be agreeing with me that they have the right to be treated the same way as everyone else. Good.

No, it isn't. They can marry whoever they want, just like everyone else. They are being treated the same as the rest by the law - ergo, no discrimination. Choosing not to get married, even if it is because of your nature, doesn't mean that you're discriminated against when others choose to do it.

Again, that is not the same thing. Heterosexuals could marry the person they love. Homosexuals could not. The law clearly made a distinction between homosexuality and heterosexuality and treated them differently. That is discrimination. By giving everyone the right to marry whoever they want, with the same benefits, name and all, regardless of whether you're homosexual, heterosexual, asexual, bisexual or Swedish, you are not making a distinction between sexual preferences. Thus, you are not discriminating.

I ask you: since I have chosen not to get married because of my nature, am I being discriminated against right now?
