It is actually an extension of the notion that rights are inherent, not given through a government decision. Government is there to protect human rights, not to hand them out. You don't get to vote on whether someone has human rights or not and the right to love, reside with, cherish and marry (in

My point here was that cramming gay marriage down people's throats was the wrong way to go about getting it allowed. Scott's point was that sometimes that's the only way to get the right thing done. Your point seems to be that not getting married isn't as bad as slavery. Fair enough, but it has no
