Here’s a convincing comparison you can use in any country to show why marriage inequality is wrong. Take a section of the population or a city roughly the size of the lesbian, gay and bisexual population (about 5% at best recent estimates), and ask the person you are talking or writing to whether they think that group should be banned from marriage?
Examples (see here for more details)
- Do you think it would be OK if they banned all marriages in New York State?
- Why don’t we bring in a law that says people in the Nairobi can only get civil unions?
- Would it be OK if every married couple in Rome had their marriage annulled?
- What if we banned heterosexual weddings in Adelaide because it has an unsuitable climate?
