The two terms mean the same thing No they don't. In any case, in the US, the marriage laws are pretty much applied equally to people at this moment Not to gay people.. Yes to gay people. The law treats them the same way it treats everyone else. It might not fit their particular needs and wants, and perhaps we should accomidate their needs and wants more, but it does treat them exactly the same as it treats everyone else. It can be argued that the law, the way it is, has an unfair impact on them, but the law itself is the same for them as it is for anyone else. and "pretty much" ain't good enough The "pretty much" refers to the fact that people under certain ages will not have any marriage legally recognized. Other than that (and the fact that different states have different marriage laws) you can drop the "pretty much" and just say "in the US, the marriage laws are applied equally to people at this moment" and you would be correct.
