<i>We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.</i>
-- Thomas Jefferson, <i>Declaration of Independence</i>
The very foundation of our country states that "all men"-- which we can now infer in a more modern age to mean adult humans of either gender-- are ceratin <u>unalienable</u> rights. That means these rights are never to be denied to any of us, for any reason.
If the "pursuit of happiness" for Tom is to get hitched to Joe, or for Tina to be married to Jane, then so be it, bless the happy couple, and let's move on. We simply put do not have the authority to impinge on their rights.
