What you claim and what you actually post are 2 different things. You come off as someone who is homophobic. Maybe change your words if you don’t want to be thought of as such
Again CP, you have some preconceived notions of what you think are innate and not innate characteristics and you are confusing them into one jumble which you call ‘class’. The word you’re looking for is ‘group’. You CAN discriminate against groups, little ‘g’, because a group is any generic collection based on some arbitrary criteria. There are groups of people that are perfectly ok to discriminate against. The government locks groups of criminals up. They give certain job groups special privileges.
What you confusing ‘group’ with is the legal term ‘protected class’. A Protected Class, capital ‘p’ capital ‘c’, is a special kind of group designated by the government with distinct privileges, usually because they’ve been discriminated against in the past. When we say you cannot have Walker recuse himself because he’s gay, that’s because the reason would speak towards a Protected Class in which he belongs to: gays.
When you talk about polygamy, you are talking about ‘groups’. Polygamists are not an officially recognized Protected Class, so you can discriminate against them in marriage. Whatever you think of that situation, it stems from the fact that a gay person and a polygamist are fundamentally different in how they achieve their statuses. And that difference contributes to the reason that one is a Protected Class and one is not
You want to claim they are the same, or should be the same, based on the simple notion that both can be called ‘groups’. But you’re wrong. Just because they are both part of a group does not mean they both deserve to be a Protected Class. Polygamy is illegal and I have no real problems with that. But discriminate against gays and I have a huge problem with it. Any rational person would agree with me
