I would call the right to marry a civil right. In most states they still can't do that, and in those where they can, it's only because of "legislated respect."
You of course give it the typical liberal twist that people are being deprived of their civil rights, when in fact everyone has the right to marry.

You could 'marry' another guy if you want, and nobody will try to stop you. Hold it dear, treasure it, heck frame a certificate and put it in your front yard. Just don't expect the rest of us to accept it as a legal marriage.

It is not anyone's civil right to redefine a legal marriage for the majority of us in this country. The overwhelming majority, common sense, and nature itself has defined a marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Even our most liberal state, Californication recently voted down "legislated respect".
