Nope. And so have fat people, skinny people, ugly people, Jews, Christians, Muslims, atheists, etc.

In your judgement, which group doesn't have the right to marry another consenting adult?

Fat people, skinny people, ugly people, and Christians haven't been institutionally oppressed in this country.

Regardless, what does that have to do with the topic?

Translation: I am trying desperately to troll you all with a bogus, boneheaded "test" and you aren't biting. I am very sad.
