Equal Is As Equal Does

Marriage is not a civil right, however protection from discrimination against any element in our society is. Local and State Legislators in numerous Munincipalaties have decided that it is alright to place marital restrictions on individuals only because of their sexual orientation. And that my friend is discrimination. There was a time when people were prevented from marrying only because of a difference in their race - a practice that has since been found to be illegal. Preventing otherwise qualified people from legally unifying their relationships and receiving the benefits afforded to such individuals is a violation of their Civil Rights. And that my friend is just Un-American.
