I'm still waiting to hear what Constitutional right is denied homosexuals so I can figure out what gay rights even means.
The constitutional right would be equal rights.
They are denied rights that are granted to heterosexual married couples.
Here is a list of some of those rights LINK
Me personally, I argue that marriage should not be given those rights.

I prefaced both of my posts saying I was not an opponent of gay marriage as long as the government did not mandate that opposed religious organizations acknowledge and perform said ceremonies.
I was speaking in regards to individual Constitutional rights.
It's always been "gay rights." I am a heterosexual and checking off all of the boxes I can't find a right that I have in the Bill of Rights that is denied a Homosexual citizen.

I would suggest the application of "Rights" as it relates to the constitution is being applied incorrectly here.
By your application of this term, when they change the reg's on any of these IRS codes then my rights have been violated.
No that is not the way it works...
These are merely codes in a tax system, not rights granted by our constitution.
