But still, I do not recall there being a right for gays. Therefore, and I'm not saying it's right, BUT anyone who is against gay marriage STILL has the RIGHT to fight to abolish gay marriage.

The reason there were amendments for women and slaves was because these people were not considered persons under the law, but rather property. That is why they had to fight for their rights.
So, unless you are saying that gays are not persons under the law, they must be given the same rights and freedoms as all of the other people.

You proved my point for me, thank you.

"this" Declaration is the basis for all human rights throughout all of the United Nations. And the UN must follow that code. The UN includes the United States.
Everyone has the right to marriage. Everyone. Why should we put gays in a little bubble by themselves? We might as well also say that we can contest African Americans' right to marry because it does not specifically say that they have the right to. Homosexuals ARE people and therefore they, along with everyone else, must legally have all of the rights that the Declaration promises.
