So a person with his leg chopped off and the stump gushing blood is the same as a person whose pinky is broken?
I mean, both require medical attention, so it's the same thing, right?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for same-sex marriage. But considering that same-sex couples can already live together, raise children, share property, hold whatever ceremony they wish to celebrate their love, and so on, the State not accepting their status (and therefore forcing them to draw up any number of legal documents to insure their rights and responsibilities towards each other and their children) is not nearly in the same playing field as slavery.
