Marriage is not a right.

Go to some strange woman on the street and try imposing on her your “right” and see how far you get.

Again, certain forms of marriage have always been illegal and more over those who cannot enter freely into marriage are not allowed to marry at all.

That’s the way its always been.

That makes no sense at all. Your position is like saying, Try going to the New York Times and forcing them to publish your story and if they refuse then there must be no right to freedom of the press. Just because one has a right to marry doesn't mean that another person is obligated to marry them. Just as the right to publish doesn't mean someone else is obligated to give you their printing press. And all "rights" are subject to restrictions which is why freedom of speech doesn't mean you can yell fire in a crowded theater which isn't on fire.
