Ake: The problem is that civil law does not treat every minority equally, people with psychological problems, drug abuse, or sexual health issues, are routinely deprived of "rights" afforded to "normal" members of society.

This is a hollow argument. No member of these groups get deprived of their civil rights because of membership in these groups. They only get deprived of some rights if they, as individuals, are convicted of a crime -- just like criminals who are not members of any of these groups. And even incarcerated criminals are allowed to get married.

Keep trying, Akenaton! Somewhere out there, maybe in a universe far away, there's an argument you can put forth that will stand up to even the most rudimentary logical examination.
