Common sense prevails in the city of Houston and in the state of Ohio. Those who supported the Houston ordinance claim that opponents used misleading advertisements and slogans. This is precious. Does anyone remember "Marriage Equality," which may be the most misleading (and question-begging) slogan of all time? I'm waiting for the campaign to get dogs the right to vote. It'll be called "Voting Equality" and will be designed to sway low-information voters. To repeat: Justice requires that likes be treated alike and unlikes differently, in proportion to their differences. Saying that homosexual couples should be allowed to marry assumes, without argument, that homosexual and heterosexual couples are similarly situated with regard to marriage. Perhaps they are, but it needs to be argued, not assumed. The slogan "Marriage Equality" assumes it. Leftists are happy to use manipulative rhetoric when it serves their purposes, but are appalled when it is used by the other side. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
