Everything is a 'right' nowadays.

I just want to get in shape like everybody else. I mean, what's the big deal to the women who attend Only Womens Fitness if I go there? How does it really affect them personally?
No one gives a damn what you think of as a right. The SCOTUS declared it a right. Thus it should be given to everyone. This is the decision in Loving vs. Virginia. Now go find an Alex Jones article to dispute it.

"Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival.... To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State."
