    It’s not an additional right because before 2015 LGBT+ people were denied rights straight people have.

    You will be surprised to learn legally being able to decide who your next of kin is and the ability to have the person you chose male life decisions is an important right that is ONLY gained through marriage.

    It isn’t an additional right when a group gets access to rights that another group already has that they were previously denied due to bigotry.

    Denying gay people the right to marry means that straight people enjoy legal rights that gay people do not. That’s straight people having extra rights.

    Supporting the GOP supports unequal rights for Americans and that’s ignoring the overt issues of supporting fascists.

      I feel that individuals fail to understand logic and or reason. Case in point, imagine if the 2nd Amendment only allowed the right to bear arms meant only gay burly men could possess firearms. Why so many straight white men have guns?
