Muslims have gone too far

Now, I can't wait for someone to respond to this fairly obvious point with some sort of clever retort such as:
"How dare you say that DOMA is the same as 9-11?"

I can see how some people look at DOMA as a discriminatory law. I don't see it that way.

I heard the same argument with the whole Casey Martin debate on the PGA Tour. In case you're not familiar with the case, Casey Martin is a great golfer but he is disabled and he cannot walk 18 holes. He needs a golf cart. The PGA Tour will not let him use a golf cart, so he can't play.

Because of this, some people make the argument that the PGA Tour is discriminating against disabled people by not allowing them to use a golf cart. A disabled person is basically not allowed to play since he can't play without a cart. I understand the argument but I don't agree with it. I don't think they are discrimiating against disabled people. The PGA Tour feels that walking is part of the game. The game of professional golf is hitting the ball and walking 18 holes. Disabled people are not being discriminated against. They are allowed to play just like everyone else as long as they walk.

The PGA Tour has defined golf as hitting the ball and walking 18 holes. Marriage is defined by the union of a man and a woman. There is no discrimination in either case.
