Do you consider marriage to be a civil right?

If so, other than for being convicted of a felony, under what conditions is it okay to deny an American citizen a civil right?

Do you consider marriage to be a civil right?

That's a good question. I'll have to give it some thought. The US Supreme Court ruled, in Loving v. Virginia, that marriage is a "fundamental right", but I'll still need to consider the issue.

"Compelling state interest" often works, the same thing used to justify restrictions on "free speech" to prohibit threats and inciting a riot. Of course, you then have to get into what constitutes a "compelling state interest".
