Is (Gay) Marriage a Right?

No, it's not. Not the way gays define it, anyway. Laws govern it, and there are things that can bar you from marriage. Such as having a known venereal disease. That's why they have blood tests before issuing a license. The very fact that a license is required means there is no "right" to marriage. But that's not what they mean. They mean "Is there a right to GAY marriage?" The answer is no. There should be a right to be able to make a "partnership" just LIKE marriage for gays, so they can inherit from one another and visit each other in a hospital, as well as other things married people have a right to do. I personally have no problem with what they do in private. It's not my business. But "marriage?" No. They should not be allowed to REDEFINE the WORD marriage. Basically, that's what California's "Prop. 8" said, and it is "the law of the land" in that state. But they don't like that, so are promising a "day of intolerance," whatever that is. Sounds like a threat of violence, to me. All because a majority of Californians didn't agree with them. Yes, give them the same rights and privileges married people enjoy. But don't give them the WORD. (One News Now)
