"Homosexuals are denied the same rights as heterosexuals."
This charge is false. Both heterosexuals and homosexuals can marry in any state and receive every privilege and benefit of state-sanctioned matrimony. Until recently, neither group could marry someone of the same sex. These rights and restrictions have applied to all people equally.
Same-sex couples may not have the same legal benefits as married couples, but neither do any other non-marital relationships.
Heterosexual unions have a unique role in sustaining civilization. Therefore, the government has no obligation to give every human coupling the same entitlements.
