In a free society the right is there unless you can justify the restriction. Your religious beliefs or because you think it's icky is not sufficient to continue the restriction.
What's so bad is that 232 years after the declaration of independence someone has to explain this to people.

You could have saved us both much more time if you'd simply declared your intellectual superiority from the beginning. Then I could have proceeded directly to bowing and genuflecting in defeat before the overwhelming weight of your arguments.
How can someone of the same sex be a mate?
Doing away with slavery was a monumental change, women voting was a monumental change, how many times do I have to say this, shall I go on?
Last time I checked, both of those "monumental changes" were accomplished via constitutional amendments ratified by the legislative branches of government. When a comparable amendment sanctioning same-sex "marriage" is ratified, you'll have an analogy.

So why are there restrictions against human-animal "marriage"? Better yet, why did it take constitutional amendments to abolish slavery and give women a federally guaranteed right to vote? BTW, don't bet on these liberal judges recognizing the right of a landlord to refuse to rent to a same-sex couple. They'll readily find it perfectly justifiable for the state to force a Christian landlord to permit sodomy on his property.

I was unaware that we declared our independence from Britain so that men could marry each other. Glad you explained it to me.
Whosoever shall be guilty of Rape, Polygamy, or Sodomy with man or woman shall be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting thro' the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least. - Bill Number 64, authored by [Thomas] Jefferson and "Reported by the Committee of Advisors, 18 June 1779"
I believe the word you're looking for is "Oops."
