where are the equal rights?

In this country what is truly fair, and what are equal rights? Having to pay taxes and bills that others must pay, but yet some people dont recive that same benfits and rights as the "normal" people do? Is it fair that your not aloud to spend your life with the person you love jsut becuase you happen to be the same sex? These are all problems that different people face in this great country of ours, that is based on equal rights, freedom, and respect, or so it's suppouse to be based on those. There is really no harm in letting to people get married and having the same benfits and respect as other individuals. I do not see why people can not open there mind and let change in. Personaly I believe people will be much more happy and more succeful in life if everyone was given the same rights and benfits that we as suppose to recive. In the 1st Amendment- Freedom of Religion, it states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The Constitution is what this conurty is based on, correct me if im wrong but I saw nothing in the Consitiution that states same sex marrige is not allowed and that because of who someone loves determines the respect and benfits they recieve.
