Women v. Same-Sex Marriage

Question: isn’t same-sex marriage inherently in conflict with the principle of the equal dignity of women?
I haven’t seen anyone make the argument but it seems obvious to me that for the law to say that same-sex marriage is the moral equivalent of one-man, one-woman marriage is simultaneously to proclaim that the unique gifts of women are officially, by government decree, not in any way important.
By that token, it’s opposed to the dignity of men, too, in that it (ironically!) un-sexes all of us. The challenge to women is direct, however. The womb? Child-rearing? Same-sex marriage proclaims them—and the policies and lifestyle needed to support them—insignificant.
Curious what you make of that argument. Is it persuasive?

A painful case in point:... READ MORE
