If is not in the constitution, is not a right and if you have not been keeping up with the news, probably living in a cave, there are many states already allow people to get married to whoever they want. BUT it is not equal right, they have the same equal right to marry someone of the opposite sex as EVERYONE else does, and I do not even know what they want to get married in the first place. Do you really know the purpose of what marry was designed for? That is the problem nowadays they marketed marriage as something that has a completely different definition and meaning that what it was, they should call it something else. Save yourself the money of marriage and the money from divorce and live together peacefully without being bound as a property of one another or trying to please some deity. "choice instead of forcing her and her child to live a horrible, poverty-stricken life, and letting children who had terrible lives in their country start a new life here?" I don't even know what age are you talking about here, who is forcing woman to live a horrible life? I was a kid growing in a poor country, I was born in Cuba and came to US at the age of 12 legally, and now I am an adult living the American dream, so I don't know what are you talking about. Are you so detached from reality? Really?! Go see a doctor, one who would not just take your money and just gave you what you want, but someone who actually cares and will put you under the proper treatment, because you are way far off from reality. If you think those are issues affecting the United States, I welcome you to go visit other countries and see how it really is there. Reality is gonna hit you like a truck.
