Both Yes and No.

Marriage isn't a right, however it does become a right the moment government decides to use it as the method to delvier benefits to a committed pair of individuals or uses it to establish familial rights.

As it is now, i'd say marriage is a right in the US.

If the US dropped all tax breaks, and legal benefits for married spouses, I would then say it is NOT a right.

Easy solution... change government marriage to civil unions... for everyone.

Nope.

Marriages receive additional benefits because they are responsible for education and upbringing of future generations.

 

If lack of gay marriages is discrimination than so is existance of men/women only toilets.
