It is an inate right:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
I've read many law briefs supporting the fact that marriage is a liberty, or it could fall under the pursuit of happiness. However you look at it, it is an inate right. Yes, the current law prevents them from exercising that right, however many people (maybe not in hicksville where you are) do believe that preventing it is wrong.
Marriage is held to be a fundamental (inate) right in the US, by the Supreme Court
Loving -v- Virginia.
