Well, call me crazy, but human rights are more important than getting drunk and blowing your fingers off.

They're human and they don't have the right to marry. Sounds pretty "human-rightsy" to me.
Nobody should settle for just being allowed to drink from the same water fountain.

If marriage is really that important to them, they can move to Iowa or Minnesota.

Gay marriage is only one of thousands of things that define freedom.

In fact, government sanctioned gay marriage is not freedom at all. It's still government controlled marriage. True marriage freedom would eliminate government approval.

Maybe you do, but many other people would not.

The right to get drunk is a human right.

Do YOU have to move to a different state in order to be allowed to marry?
