The argument from the gay community is not that they're different, it's that they're the same, and should be treated as such. You're closing sentence says more about you than you realize. Hudson,

Gay couples don’t enjoy the same rights as everyone else. The argument from the gay community is not that they’re different, it’s that they’re the same, and should be treated as such.

You’re closing sentence says more about you than you realize.

They enjoy all the same rights as everyone else and can have commitment ceremonies if they choose. They cannot legally marry because marriage is between a man and a woman. What is so hard to understand about that? I wish everyone love in their lives. But if gay people make the argument that they are different and straight people need to accept those differences, then it seems gay people should accept that their differences mean they cannot get married the way straight men and women do. I fear that it's all part of a political agenda. Gay people are free to live together and do what they want.
