If the law said that only consenting people of the same sex could marry, that would be the same kind of equality.

But that's not what the law says. This argument and that equality doesn't exists is a strawman argument. What Suma is advocating is changing the definition of marriage.

True equal treatment requires that any consenting adult should be able to marry any other consenting adult, as long as they are both otherwise unencumbered and meet whatever the other basic requirements are.

That's an opinion, one I don't share.
