The reason Hasanuddin cares is NOT because he wants to control others, nor impose his own morality on to them via legislation, but because equality is worth fighting for. His position caring about the legalization of same sex marriage isn't about caring "what anybody else does anyway." It's about caring that discrimination in our society is rooted out, plucked from our culture like the weed it is.

But isn't he saying that since heterosexual people can get married to members of the opposite sex then homosexual people should be able to get married to members of the same sex? How is that NOT caring what other people are legally allowed to do?
