So, your two examples there: one is denying me rights as a person (instead, I become property, which has no natural rights whatsoever), and the other is infringing on my right to association and free movement.
There is no such thing as a right to "marriage", because such a thing exists only as a construct of various institutions.
Indeed, forcing churches or municipalities to marry people whom they don't want to is infringing on the members of the institution's right of free association.
(Now, the fact that they're close-minded homophobic shitheads is perhaps true, but that's not important.)
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoPlease. Moving to the back of the bus is >> denying marriage? That institution that has repercussions in housing, taxes, rights throughout our society? Vs where you get to sit? Every 'right' is a social construct. I'm beginning to think you're trolling. And nobody is requiring churches to do anything. This is straw-man nonsense put out by the fearful.
