House should stay home

There are certain privileges that our government has the right to deny us.

The ability to drive, for instance, is a privilege, which the State may revoke at any time. Marriage on the other hand, is not. It is instead a right, and the denial of this right to any group of citizens of the United States of America is a travesty.

David House seems to think that marriage is a privilege, and therefore, it can be denied.

Perhaps he should read the Supreme Court case of Loving v. Virginia, in which the court stated, “The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.”

P.S. Please stop publishing Chase Cooper. His idiocy gives me a headache every time I read him.
