Who said anything about legal protection? Gays/straights/whites/etc. are all afforded the same legal protections...
You just plainly indicated that if it was up to you, gays would not be afforded the same legal protections.
You made that crystal clear.
Married gays would not be able to collect Social Security survivor benefits. They would not be able to file married tax returns. They would not be allowed over a thousand legal protections given to straights.
As I said, only a bigot thinks gays should not receive the same legal protections as straights.
