Also, our western civilisations have moved further to a phase where blatant discrimination is considered to be a big no-no.

Isn't it time for the laws applicable to marriage to follow those changes?
Of course it is debatable, but imho 'why do'>'why not', especially since gays couples can lead the same life as normal couples. Why can't that be enough it's like taking a dump in someones garden despite having a toilet at home.
