If marriage is a legal right, then it literally means that every single group that is currently barred from marrying is having their rights suppressed.


A right can be suppressed when the gov't can prove that there's a compelling and public interest in suppressing it.

There is no compelling public interest to supressing the rights of gays to marry other than some members of the public hates gays. The idea that gay marriage "destroys marriage" is just plain stupid. Divorce destroys marriage. Cheating destroys marriage Dishonesty destroys marriage. Gays don't destroy marriage unless you've been a dishonest cheat and want someone to blame.

On the other hand there is great public interest in protecting that right. Marriage is part of what makes a stable home for rearing children.
