Perversity is not a civil right.
Not according to the ACLU.
In the context of a specifically protected right of lifestyle, no. Actions and associations have consequences of the governed. When the governed no longer retain control of those who are chosen to govern in the name of the governed, then anarchy will eventually rule the day on the whims of those who govern.

The right to marry is a civil liberty, while gay marriage is a civil rights matter. If a couple (either same-sex or opposite-sex) is denied a marriage license because the court clerk has decided not to issue them at all, then their civil liberties have been violated. But if the clerk denied marriage licenses only to LGBT couples, it is a civil rights violation.
Glad to clear that up. LOL
