The only way your point would be valid is if the federal government stops recognizing marriage, period. Until that time, they are granting rights to some couples but not others. That's a no no.That is correct. But since the government itself recognizes a man/woman marriage it is obligated to recognize other partnerships between consenting adults.No.. there is no 'right to marry'... PERIOD....
Hell.. the govt should be out of the marriage business all together
If 2 guys or 2 girls wish to live together as a family unit and file taxes together and have inheritance rights or whatever other LEGAL equality... all well and good.... but there is no 'right to marry' and the government does not exist to force churches or states or citizens to recognize 2 men or 2 women as 'married'... just as there is no 'right' to marry your sibling
No...
The government should only recognize the legal aspects of a union or partnership (with examples of those legalities listed in one of my many previous posts on this matter)... not getting into what is marriage or into the churches to force them to recognize some union of 2 men or 2 women as 'married', etc...
The is no right to marry, as stated SO many times
