No gays had human rights violations. We all can't get what we want. I want all your money, but the law prevents me. Dig?
That's a false equivalency. You can't 'have someone else's money' because that would be unlawful to just take it, no matter how much you want to.
The '
ban' on same sex marriage has been decided &
declared unlawful. So as American citizens, they are being denied their civil rights under the 14th Amendment.
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Under that denial, in some states gays cannot make legal, medical, & financial decisions along with or for their partner. Nor can they file taxes together. Nor can they have access to a sick or dying partner if that partner's family says otherwise. Nor can they have the right to refuse to testify against their partner in a court of law. In some states, they cannot 'adopt' their partner's child, even if that child is also biologically theirs.
