There is no "gay marriage right." You're confusing "rights" with "privileges".
You also have no "right" to an abortion, a free education, free internet, free housing, free food, or a free telephone. Go back and re-read the Constitution and get back to me when you're done.
Yes, you are correct that there is not "right" to be married. However, if the gov't offers benefits to citizens, they must be offered equally.
The 14th Amendment is the law of the land. The equal protection clause applies here.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
I still do not understand why same sex marriage is an issue. It is consenting adults entering into the state of matrimony. It has no effect on anyone else except those who marry someone of the same gender.
It sure seems to have an effect on those from the right, conservatives, Republicans, etc.
These assholes ALWAYS want to put their goddamn noses into everyone elses fvcking business, like some old fvcking maid.
You people have no right to redefine what my marriage means, nor can you cheapen the institution of marriage and the God who defined it as such. Marriage is a holy union between one man and one woman as God defined it. That's the way it has always been and shall always be. Otherwise you are denying the existence of God, which is probably not the smartest thing to do.
Which God? The Judeo-Christian God? The God of the Muslims? The God of the Hindus?
Thanks, first he said it was God's definition, one man and one woman, but when I posted what I did, then he changed it to Jesus. He must look like a pretzel with all of that twisting. And, you're right about the different God's there are. Heck, there are tribes who have never even heard of God and live by the rules of their tribes.
How many of those "gods" condone homosexuality or same-sex marriage?
Not a single solitary one of them.
