With that out the way and *** marriage being illegal, it is still equal under the law. Each individual is subject to the same laws. No one is allowed to be married to a person of the same sex, no one is allowed to marry someone underage, no one is allowed to marry multiple persons. That is EQUAL by the definition put forward.
You seem to be arguing that a certain group of people are not equal because who they WISH to be married to is not allowed by the set laws, then that argument can be made. But both polygamists and homosexuals fall under that definition. As stated, a polygamist would still not be allowed to marry who they WISH to be married to. If you are going to allow people to marry who they wish, all should be allowed that right so we are equal under the law.

Yeah I guess I did miss the point because I assumed you had an actual argument rooted in reality here as opposed to a fictitious point which doesn't really go anywhere beyond it's own stating.
