When it comes to marriage, I feel everyone should have that right. Marriage is a very important decision, which no one should interfere with. For instance, here is a passage from Patricia Nell Warren's essay entitled Homosexuality Is a Legitimate Choice. .
"Today some radical-right church leaders wish to bend APA policy [which denies that homosexuality is not a disorder] to their belief that homosexuality is a crime, no different than murder and theft-as per some passages of the Old and New Testament. In their view, gay people SHOULD choose therapy, because they OUGHT to stop being gay. In their view, all therapy should reflect penal law, and all penal law should reflect the Bible.".
The fact is marriage has a spiritual significance, a familial significance, and it is a social statement describing and defining one's place and relationship in society. Marriage also has it's benefits by law that everyone should have when they are married, and no one should be denied this right. However, they are and the other side is fighting vigorously to win, but lets face it they are loosing the struggle.

If the U.S. is to remain a nation, where church and state are separated, then we must acknowledge our citizens' right of choice in how each of them perceive sexual orientation. Offering people, this choice of sexual orientation does not mean (as some church people insist) that we would be opening the door to legalizing bestiality, rape, exploitation of minors, etc. Homosexuals are not asking to engage in polygamy, incest, or bestiality. They are simply asking to engage in monogamous non-incestuous relationships with people they love.
