I can't seperate "equal treatment" from "equal treatment for whats". I see no difference between "equal treatment under the law" (ie presumption of innocence), equal treatment under commerce (ie no whites only stores), and equal treatment for marriage. If marriage isn't included under 'equal treatment', what is it then? That status confers benefits under taxation laws etc. and I can't figure out how a person could be treated equally w/out access to those things.
