BS! As soon as the US GOVERNMENT based laws on marriage, it became a CIVIL RIGHT! You're kidding yourself if you don't see that.

1948, the California Supreme Court in Perez v. Lippold, 32 Cal.2d 711, held "The right to marry is as fundamental as the right to send one's child to a particular school or the right to have offspring. Indeed, We are dealing here with legislation which involves one of the basic civil rights....[l]egislation infringing such rights must be based upon more than prejudice and must be free from oppressive discrimination to comply with the constitutional requirements of due process and equal protection of the laws."
Loving vs Virginia, 1967 The Court found the institution of marriage, while social in nature, is also a basic civil right and cannot be restricted without very good reason.
