Nobody said so. It is simply a way of applying basic logic to law. There
is a law that only allows a man and a woman to marry. That implies that
for every person it should be clear what sex they have. We provide a
number of counterexamples, and only one would be enough. And thus we
come to the simple conclusion that the premise of the law is faulty and
the law should never have been approved.

Being gay is their nature. Living different would be living in denial.
At which point a pointer to Janis Ian's song "When I Lay Down" would be
appropriate. Yet, not even quasi-legally available on youtube :(
well, here are the lyrics:
