Three responses, perhaps you have read about the following rights: liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Where does it say that all rights have to be in the constitution. Don't I have the right to go outside? Where is that stated? Wouldn't the right to chose whom you would marry be part of liberty and such a pursuit.?

This is not a democracy. It's a republic, with checks and balances from courts to make sure the majority doesn't oppress the rights of the minority.

If you find you're opposing any body's rights, gay or otherwise, maybe you need to re-examine your position.

I think you have the Declaration of Independence confused with the Constitution. Not, I suppose, that it makes much difference since same sex "marriage" is recognized by neither document.

They don't all have to be in the Constitution but they have to have some historical basis in reality. This is why there is no right to inject heroin or to engage in prostitution. These are things that have no historical basis as rights under the common law or in any historically developed constitutional system. Ditto for polygamy, perverted "marriage", and so forth. Ditto for abortion.

Since marriage is the bonding of people of the opposite sex, two people of the same sex can't "marry". Marriage is a gender-based institution.

Unelected branches of government do not legislate in a Republic. It takes an especially brazen and power mad government to take it upon itself to overturn the entire constitutional history of the nation with the stroke of a pen, not to mention 1,000 years of Anglo-Saxon common law, 5,000 years or more of tradition, as well as biology, common sense, and the English language.

Name any time in the history of America, or in the common law of the colonies, when two people of the same sex ever had the "right to marry". This so-called right doesn't exist, and no one even thought it did until the madness of left-wing judicial aggression began to sweep through our courts.

What it really comes down to is that you want to use raw government power to jackboot a deviant sex practice down the throats of the American people, and if you have to steamroll the rights of the people in the process, you're perfectly willing to do it.
