And they have exactly the same right of marriage as any other citizen. I'm heterosexual and I can't marry another man either.I don't see anything about class in here. Just "citizens". Which...homosexuals are.
Derp.

Would legalizing gay marriage take away your ability to marry the opposite sex?
No, no it wouldn't.
Let's say you're having a business party in which everyone is given a slice of apple pie. Assume everyone is required to attend.
2 people come up to the counter.
Person #1 says "Mmm, apple pie! My favorite! I'll have 3 slices please!"
Person #2 says "Ick, apple pie! Don't you have something tasty, like peach pie?"
The person behind the counter replies "We're sorry sir, but everyone has the right to apple pie here; we refuse to serve you peach pie even though we have some behind us."
So you've perverted the idea from "You have the right to eat what you want" to "You have the right to eat what we tell you to eat", except it's become "You have the right to marry whatever gender you want" to "You have the right to marry the gender we tell you to".
Deflection is not an option here.
The Tennessee State Constitution defines "marriage" as one man and one woman. Someone can go to MA and get married any way they want. But if it isn't one man and one woman they are not married in TN.
Don't like it? Go live somewhere else.
