discrimination in this case IS the same; making gay marriage illegal is discrimination against gays

No, I am not comparing homosexuals and rapists/murderers. I am comparing the "discrimination" involved with them. I am saying something that is illegal, is illegal and does not need to be changed in this case. I assumed you would say that and already had this type out. You seemed like you would misconstrue what I am saying to fit your thoughts, and wa-la! You did just that.

No, not everyone who defends homosexuality defends poligamy. And it doesn't matter whether I defend poligamy or not, it has nothing to do with defending gay marriage...

But it does. How can you defend one but not the other without just saying "Well I think it is wrong"?

Approving gay marriage requires small changes in the laws, while poligamy will be much more complicated to deal with legally.

Well, explain this to me. How would it be much more difficult to change? It too would only take the changing of a few things to instate. Marriage is currently between one woman and one man. Gay marriage just takes the changing of that to any individuals male or female (one of each) and polygamy only means taking out the numbers.

And, concerning the 13 year old stuff... I can use the same line of thought to ask "why can't a 13 year old drive?", "Who is to decide they do not have the capacity to do so?".
Well, there are 30 year olds who don't have the capacity and are much less mature than some 13 year olds.
But we need to establish a line, since there aren't any absoultely precise tests to determine such things. And, again it has nothing to do with gay marriage or hypocrisy. It's a completely different issue, and there is no need to compare such things.

There is need to compare such things as we are comparing the ideals behind the situations, not the literal situations. Also, that line just helps to prove my point. I am sure that if given the chance and opportunities to learn how to drive, many 13 year olds would.

With gay marriage being allowed, I believe you said it best yourself.

But we need to establish a line, since there aren't any absoultely precise tests to determine such things.

The line we have established is perfectly fine and does not need to be changed to include these different situations.
