But the point is that the heterosexual men will never take advantage of that 
law. Passing that law (where it was disallowed earlier) is a boon to 
homosexuals and not to heterosexuals. Passing a law that denies same-sex 
marriages denies them equally to those who want them and those who don't.

More like "employers must not take ethnicity into account, and the 
presumption is that if minorities aren't hired in approximately the same 
ratio as they apply, the employers are probably discriminating illegally."

In much the same way that you'd say a casino that pays out far less than the 
state-mandated minimum for an extended period of time is probably not using 
the appropriate random number generators or is cheating or whatever.
