"We" are entitled to a legal state of "marriage" because we are "normal", and deserve the legal right to name each other on insurance papers, inheritance, representation, and other implications of that civil state.

"They" should not be entitled to that legal state because...


(they are not normal) (they are unnatural) (they are repulsive) (they are condemned by our religion) (they are just wrong)....

CHoose the one you like. However you slice it, it is claiming legally a superiority of entitlement for very shallow reasons, by reason of categorical prejudice. And it is deeply unfair, unkind, and unChristian.
