If we start from the premise that men and women should have equal rights, then it's obvious, isn't it? After all, women have the right to marry men, therefore men must have the right to marry men too. And similarly, men have the right to marry women therefore women must also have that right. Or do you think that men and women should not have equal rights? (I suppose it could be argued that they should have equal but not *identical* rights, but that seems a dodgy position to me, because there doesn't seem to be any way to determine the equality of non-identical rights, and such a system would clearly be open to abuse.)
