personally i don't feel marriage should be a right to anyone. i feel marriage is and should be a privilege and that one should have to pass a test before qualifying to get married. and like with 3 strikes laws 3 divorces and you don't qualify either.

It wasn't? Because other states have statutes that limit adoption to married couples while the Florida one specifically bans homosexuals from adopting.

Agreed, personally I think this idea of inalienable rights and civil liberties is absurd. Does anyone else think we need to go back to only letting white males vote?
