Is it someone's civil right to marry whomever that person chooses regardless of sex?
Or is marrying someone of the same sex a special right reserved for a very small group of our population?

Technically you already posted this question which brings me to say this: We need new blogs up because I feel that this issue on whether homosexual having the right to marry has been thoroughly covered. Like I said b.recek said it all. Although, for the sake of being the first to comment on this blog, here is my comment:
It is (or should be) someone's civil right to marry whomever that person chooses regardless of sex. As for those that disagree with it being a civil right, claiming that homosexual do not deserve special rights… What they are asking for or want is NOT “special rights.” It is the same rights that we all want, so if we call the rights that we have as “special,” then they are asking for it. They are not much different than we are in terms of loving someone and wanting to be with that person for the rest of their life.
We NEED new topics to blog about. This has gone too far and I feel that this subject has gotten MORE than thoroughly covered. I feel like this class is meant to be a Political Science class and not a long-drawn-out Gay Rights debate. I refuse to blog until there are new topics.
Now what I have found odd TruCoz is that on this blog you have aked if we need to give seperate rights to a small group of people but in class you have said that LGTB have the same rights as all of us (as in they "can" get married. they "can" raise a family and they "can" adopt children.) Now as far you say that is thechnacly true. So now are people argueing that we should give rights to a small group of people or ALL americans that want to marry whom they choose. In the procces you will gain the same rights to marry a person of the same gender not just give the rights to LGTB.
Now as for what is a "right" I think in a way it boils downt to the pursuit of happyness. Who here that is married, has adopted, or raised a fammily. If you were told you could not do those things based on based off of who you loved and choose to be with would you be upset or just choose "meh oh well I guess I wont do that."?
i agree that this topic has been played out, but i need to blog and there doesn't seem to be much else out there.
i believe that a civil right is a right that any law abiding citizen has the rights to. its not against the law to be gay is it? so they should receive the same civil rights the rest of us do. i think civil rights should only be taken away from someone if they don't abide by the laws of the land.
well back to the subject of the blog "right or rights belonging to a person by reason of citizenship including especially the fundamental freedoms and privileges guaranteed by the 13th and 14th amendments and subsequent acts of Congress including the right to legal and social and economic equality" (dictionary.com) according to this definition everyone should have equal rights. therefore on the subject of same sex marriage, if some states allow citizens to do as they please, all states should hold these same truths "civil rights"
