But I don't know any gay people who are okay with the current institutionalized inequality; i.e. they don't have the right to be legally married even if they chose to. It's kind of like blacks not being able to eat at the "whites only" lunchcounters at Woolworths. They might not choose to eat at Woolworths in the first place. But to institutionalize the fact that they COULDN'T? Yes, that was a problem.
