What is Marriage?

As defined by Webster marriage is the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law. As you can plainly see a man and a woman, not a man and a man or a woman and a woman. Marriage has been around for about as long as humans have been. There was never the idea of same-sex marriage until recently. The very idea of same sex marriage goes against the whole idea of marriage. A huge argument for same-sex marriage is that marriage is a civil right, but it's not a civil right. Marriage is a privilege, not a right that anyone can have. Freedom of speech is a right, the right to petition the government is a right, and the right to bear arms is a right. Last time I checked I didn't see the right to marry whoever you want in The Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. Just because you want something doesn't mean that it is a right, so please check your facts before you embarrass yourself.
