A question about sex..

[bailey]

Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival.... To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. - Loving v. Virgina, 388 U.S. 1 [[1967)

Marriage is a basic civil right. The debate is over the reasons some are denied this right.
