?For the first time in the history of the Supreme Court, gay men and women were not seen as a powerful lobby trying to overturn the America, but like the people we really are?? When Sullivan uses the term we, he is identifying that he himself is homosexual, and so I must assume that he is arguing from a homosexual point of view, not an impartial one. There are several examples throughout the argument where Sullivan uses pathos to support his argument. In sentences like this, Sullivan attempts to appeal to emotion, comparing homosexuals to all other people, heterosexual and homosexual. Again, in response to the question of why do gays want to get married, Sullivan appeals to emotion and even tradition in stating this? the answer is obvious. He's the same Mason that everyone wants to have the right to marry. At some point in our lives, some of us are lucky enough to meet the person we truly love. And we want to commit to this person in front of our family and our country for the rest of our lives.
