Quote:From what I got from what he was saying is the state shouldn't have any right to do anything with marriage.  Marriage is and should be a religious affair, but at some point we decide to use it to alter our tax code and now the state is involved.  I think you two actually agree on this issue a lot more than you think.

That's exactly what he meant. 

 

As for whether marriage or voting is actually a 'right' it's not a protected right under the Constitution or Bill of Rights. I assume the forefathers had it in mind that people should be able to marry and vote and making it a 'right' wasn't even a thought because well, why? I hope that makes sense.
