P12 seems to be arguing that Edmonton sucks, and that they would in fact be worse off by living in Edmonton.
Essentially the harm caused by limiting their rights is less than the harm caused by living in Edmonton, therefore limiting their rights is morally the right thing to do.

But why discriminate and think you need to save one group from making a terrible decision like living in Edmonton? If it's morally right to restrict gays from living in Edmonton, the same logic should apply and it would be morally right to restrict straight people from living in Edmonton too.
If, morally, we shouldn't let anyone live there, lets just bulldoze Edmonton and be done with all that nonsense.
