I just don't see the term 'Marriage' as applicable.

That doesn't mean it isn't applicable. It means you less are not ready to accept it. Fifty years ago, only a small minority would tolerate interracial marriage. Now the vast majority of Americans are accepting of such a possibility.

"And like I said before, no one wins in a democracy when the rights of some are denied."

True but Marriage isn't a right its a word that has a definition. Gays don't like that it defines heterosexual unions. Gays are not being denied any rights. Big fat gassy balloon of nada, that one


There are parameters that must be met to able to get married. For an example, two kids under 12 can not get married. At one time, two people of different races could not get married. When you meet the required parameters, you are able to get married. That makes it a right.

In the United States it is.
