Try building an argument. You said, and I quote: "No one gets their rights because they are married."
I pointed out that spousal privilege is a right under the law.
Try thinking clearly. I'll say it again in hopes you'll finally get it. What was the reason. hint self incrimination. you won't understand that either. AND it has nothing to do with a a right to marriage.

Which is it?
In English?
Those aren't my options and more importantly have nothing to do with the false belief that marriage is a right. You're posts have gone off the deep end in your quest to be right instead of seeking the truth.
Banning someone from marriage as well as forcing someone to accept it are equally bad.
That argument can be leveled against any expansion of rights. Ending segregation forced business owners to accept black people in their restaurants. So what?

Right, self incrimination - which is what married people are protected against as per contract law.

So, no reasoned argument? Disappointed
Married couples enjoy a lot of legal rights denied to unmarried couples. Yes, there are rights that come from marriage. Making the statement "No one gets their rights because they are married" nonsensical.
Don't know but you cannot compare the discriminations above to SSM. It never was right to ban marriage between a man and a woman regardless of their race because marriage is identified as being between a man and a woman. All Americans as citizens should have had the right to vote. Since when has "traditional" marriage ever been about same sex couples and why should it be? One can still have every right afforded to them in a civil union as in a traditional marriage between a man and a woman. Marriage itself should not be re-defined, IMO. It's against the laws of nature for one thing.
If samesex marriages want to call it a marriage instead of a civil union let them. IMO civil union is a degrading use of the term in place of marriage. As if anyone owns marriage.
Still avoiding the question. Laughable you were the one who brought it up but dont know the reason why. The reason always matters.
