norhing preventing the pursuit of happines just benefits which have always and in all cultures worldwide been intended for marriage which was alwsys between opposite sexes

nope

wrongly and see the above

I obviously disagree. When interracial couples were refused the right to marry, they could also "pursue happiness" without the "advantages" of marriages. And it would have been remain a severe violation of their right.

Sex is no more than race a reason to refuse human rights to people.

You are in the wrong on this . . .as are a shrinking minority of people (about 49% today).

I am certain that within 3 years, that minority will shrink even more, and that the right for gay couples to marry or to engage in civil unions with all the benefits of marriage will be upheld by at least 6 to 10 more States, and maybe even by SCOTUS.

So I will not put much energy into discussing this with you. Time will do it's job on narrow minded people, and the normality of two people who love each other wanting to have their commitment legally recognize will be accomplished.
