If you are going to be talking about rights, this, above all, should be pointed out:
Nobody has a right to marry.
If there was such a right, there would be no limits.

Well we'll just see whether the Supremes think a right to marry exists or not. While the instituion is not mentioned in the Constitution, allowing some to marry and forbidding others to marry is going to be challenged on Constitutional grounds none the less.

So you're saying that the only reason my husband and I are married is because some government bureaucrat generously permitted it? I don't buy it -- our union is infinitely more sacred and all-encompassing than government whim.
