As a preface, I am a Catholic and married almost 50 years; however, I believe banning someone over the legal age to get a marriage license is discriminatory and unconstitutional. Let them get the marriage license and then try to find a priest, rabbi, minister, imam (or whoever marries the Islamists)to bless their marriage. Chances are they will only find a left-leaning judge. I also think this has to be on a national level and not state by state, so when they get ready to divorce, any state could provide that.

Since when is deviant behavior a right under the Constitution? At the beginning of our country, states had laws against it. Virginias law had the death penalty. And you wanna try to say deviant behavior is a Constitutional right?!

Other than laws dealing with marrying relatives, certain blood tests or people who are incarcerated or otherwise incapacitated, can you name a SINGLE LAW in ANY STATE in the United States that prohibits unmarried persons of a certain age from getting married?

Let me make this very clear, there is NO LAW that prohibits homosexuals from getting married and there NEVER HAS BEEN.

It grieves me to tell you, but in left wing “protestant” circles, there are homosexual clergy...both men and women. Or, there are clergy that will perform the cermonies. My goodness, the Espiscople denomination has a homosexual Bishop.
