We have the freedom to get married and that will never change.

We certainly are not guaranteed a "freedom" to have the government recognize (or provide) all marriages because the government is not obligated by the constitution to do so. It gets to pick and choose, which is why heterosexual marriages are given full faith and credit while gay marriages are not.

Nowhere are we guaranteed recognition of marriage, so not recognizing them all is not violating any freedom of ours.

I'm talking about discrimination mainly. I just thought that the same government who said that all should be created equal should not be able to pick and choose who gets the benefits and who doesnt based on one "uncontrollable" aspect of their life.
