Here's the difference:
Insofar as the definition of marriage is concerned, there's a pretty solid argument that the current DOMA definition of marriage is hurting gay couples.
I fail to see how the reverse holds true.
That's not the minority's desire. Their desire is to have the full of their right to contract recognized. What you're arguing is the right of the majority is the right to discriminate against certain sects with the use of government force; and that one most certainly cannot be allowed to be upheld.
Why does there need to be harm? What harm does it do? And if it's just right to contract, then why not civil unions?
