There has never existed a universal right to marriage

Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man,"


-Chief Justice Earl Warren from the opinion striking down interracial marriage bans in Loving v Virginia.

Not a universal right, but it seems to me you need a pretty compelling reason to not allow two people to marry based on that language.

It's a pointless battle for the right. If you are to take the plank of freedom, you have to champion the freedom of people to do stuff you find icky as long as it doesn't violate someone else's rights.

Eh, that's just my humble opinion.
