I wonder how many people don't vote and then complain that they are being discriminated against because they could have voted, but didn't want too.
Is that strange logic or what?
The fifth, and final, argument judges would use to justify miscegenation law was undoubtedly the most important; it used these claims that interracial marriage was unnatural and immoral to find a way around the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of "equal protection under the laws." How did judges do this? They insisted that because miscegenation laws punished both the black and white partners to an interracial marriage, they affected blacks and whites "equally." This argument, which is usually called the equal application claim, was hammered out in state supreme courts in the late 1870s, endorsed by the United States Supreme Court in 1882, and would be repeated by judges for the next 85 years.

So, these people wanted to marry outside their race. They should have just married someone of their race, right Pop?
Did they "want" to be the race they were? Nope.
Comparing a want to a race is weak.
But it's all you have I guess
It's comparing discrimination. That race and orientation are both innate traits is actually not relevant.
