[Mrs. Don-o]

One of the many oddities in this very odd situation, is the utter lack of evidence that anybody has ever been denied the right to marry because they were gay.

Throughout history, many--- I daresay, most --- gay people married. Oscar Wilde was married to Constance Lloyd, and they had two sons, Cyril (1885) and Vyvyan (1886). The Episocopal bishop in New Hampshire, the Rev. Gene Robinson, was married and likewise had two children with his wife. New Jersey governor Jim McGreeey married twice and had children with both of his wives, before he famously announced he was gay.

Has any gay person ever been discriminated against and forbidden by law to marry?

If it's ever happened, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

That’s it. What their argument is, essentially, is that they have the right to change the definition of marriage to be the union of one person and anyone or anything that person wants to claim as a spouse. And their rationale is that they “love” that person/persons/animal/object. Well, sorry but that is just not reasonable.
