There can be no such thing as a “right” to marry. Marriage is an agreement. No one can guarantee ever finding another to enter into such an agreement. It cannot be a right. The right to speech, kbr, religion, free press, petitition, etc., are all based in the individual and completely actionable by the individual.

That makes sense, but seems to fly in the face of the explicitly enumerated Constitutional right to peaceably assemble.

For what it's worth, I agree there's no right to marry, in the sense that the government has no business endorsing sexual relationships at all.

I attend an assembly.

My feet took me to an assembly.

If I attend a marriage, I’m sitting in the pews. :>)
