And this, this right here, is the actual end result of equality, which many people did not see coming (but some others did, way back when: the gay people who were stridently against gay marriage; the "I don't want a seat at the table, I want to flip the table" types. They knew it was gonna get real lame real quick!). Everybody. Becomes. Boring.

The consequence of wanting to be treated like the straights is getting treated like the straights.

Of course, that's overall a good thing. It just makes for some milquetoast art.

Disregarding the fact that equality has not at all been achieved, we've only gotten closer (sometimes getting boring gay love stories that play out like boring straight love stories is not the final measurement of equality in society lol)... why would it have to end there? The next step should be more interesting love stories for everyone.

What exactly would equality look like? We have equality under the law, in every respect that matters. You can't make everyone like you, if that's what you're looking for.

Now, elsewhere in the world? Abso-fucking-lutely, there isn't equality. There are places that will jail or execute you for being gay.

I'm sure the trans folk in the US will be relieved that equality under the law has been achieved. It will be news to them.

I'm sure gay people in Florida will also be surprised about this "Equality under the law thing"

The issue with gay marriage is not "OMG, we can call ourselves married" It was ALL the legal protections that COME with marriage.

There were no gay people against gay marriage. I mean okay, technically there were, but they were so fringe that they were virtually invisible and anyone who happened to see them thought they were crazy. Even the fringe gay people I knew would have preferred the abolition of marriage in theory, but they still supported gay marriage in practice because they knew gay people getting the right to marry was a way higher possibility than straight people losing it.
