That's a false analogy because it presumes that marriage between gays is even possible. Those with the strongest arguments against gay marriage hold that: - marriage is a natural institution that the state recognizes (the state, technically, does not marry people) - marriage is ultimately rooted in the intrinsic capacity (though not necessarily the successful exercise e.g. impotence does not render marriage invalid) for sexual reproduction and the complementarity of the sexes Therefore, they hold that there simply is no such thing as gay marriage, and you cannot deny what does not exist.
