Well I guess Pig is actually in the right.
You see, his argument is right. Two men have always had the same marriage rights as a man and a woman. The problem is nobody specified that the marriage was to happen between the 2 men, just that those 2 men had the same rights as a man and a woman.
I believe this is the original point he answered to:

For two men to not have the same rights as a man and a woman is unjust, and violated the fourteenth amendment.
And yes, he is right. If a homosexual man was to marry a woman, they would not ask him his sexuality at the register, because it didn't matter. As Pig said:

All those 3 celebrities follow that rule. Even if gay, they were married.
It wasn't gays that were denied marriage, it was marriage between two gays that was denied.
For example, If a lesbian woman wanted to get married to a gay man, they would give them the license. Nobody would point out their homosexuality and deny their marriage.
And yes, I guess Pig had the right to rip into this like that, because the general argument on this thread was that "those two men (going from the Kim Davis case) have been denied marriage because of their sexuality". Which is technically untrue.
But Pig, for the sake of trying to maybe push this discussion somewhere other than mindless bickering on this one subject, could you stop basically baiting them and realize that what they meant was that marriage between two homosexuals was banned? or otherwise we will just start to get shitposts that just consist of "no pig is wrong here let me show you proof everybody already posted"
that was atleast my take on what Pig is saying, correct me if I am wrong Pig.
