For that matter, the Constitution doesn't specifically give citizens the right to go shopping, play pianos, or work out at the gym. But does that mean that the government should be free to restrict entire segments of the population from doing those things?Originally Posted by Logan13
The 9th Amendment to the US Constitution says, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." This essentially means that if the Constitution is silent on marriage rights for heterosexuals, it doesn't mean that the right for straight folks to marry doesn't exist. And, as they say, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, so the same principle applies for gays as well. If you contend that there is a Constitutional exception in that right that applies only to gays, I'd like to see where you find it.
