So while people jumped all over knalus for opposing gay marriage for "no good reason", I have yet to see a good reason to allow gay marriage besides the ones I showed above. It's mostly just an emotional argument.

What are the boundaries that define a right?

"Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement; that is, rights are the fundamental normative rules about what is allowed of people or owed to people, according to some legal system, social convention, or ethical theory. Rights are of essential importance in such disciplines as law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology."

So are rights infinitely malleable?
