Would you be ok if they started fining Muslims, if you are Christian? Do you think it's ok for gay people to not get married, because you are straight and the law will never affect you? I could go on and on about certain things that are "issues" in our society that have no bearing on my personal life (and probably most of you guys as well), but that doesn't mean it's "ok" to make and enforce these laws....just because I personally will never be affected by it.
One big difference, dude, in your theory. This new add on is for a an already established criminal offense. So making an already criminal offense a little more sever is cool to me. The two examples you gave are not even remotely laws, let alone criminal offenses. Gay couples can either get married or they can't. The first example I really didn't get, lolol, so I can't comment. But you see what I'm saying? Just like burglary. If they decided this year to make it a mandatory 50 years for third offender burglars, I wouldn't care. I'm not a burglar. It's already a crime that they are just stiffening penalties for. Later, QD.
