I'm just as fine to say this instead:

It doesn't have to be a "basic" right. I think that if a government says to a group of people "You are not allowed to do a particular thing" it is imperative that they justify why that group is being singled out, using evidence and critical thinking. "I think it's weird" is neither evidence nor critical thinking. It's the same case with the usual suspects: whether religion or interpretations of marriage which don't match its modern reality (eg. childbirth).
Everything that I would want to say has been said better by others, but I spoke up because I find the idea that those in favour of same-sex marriage rights (including myself) do it out of "political correctness" extremely offensive.
