Is Marriage A Civil Right?

Jonathan Capehart, a leftist gay columnist at the Washington Post, said to Chris Christie this morning on MSNBC: “You support putting the civil rights of a minority up for a public referendum…”

Dennis Prager on the radio today: “So redefining marriage for the first time in the history of humanity to include man-man and woman-woman, this is civil rights for a minority? They [leftists] believe that.”

“Marriage is not a civil right. Marriage is defined by every civilization. They’ve never allowed man-woman within a family. Would you allow two brothers to marry? Or two sisters? I’ve never heard them challenged on that question. Is that part of the civil rights? If it is a civil right, then there should be no exclusion. You don’t have an asterisk on civil rights. You can’t exclude by number. If it is a civil right, then you should be able to marry two people.

“It has never been a civil right. It is a defined privilege.”

“You have to be 35 yo to run for president. You don’t make social policy on whether or not it is fair for everybody.”
