Yes. Marriage is a right. It is a right applicable to humans. Same-sex couples are humans. Same-sex couples have human rights. Some governments do not permit same-sex couples to marry. Those governments are violating the human rights of same-sex couples.

No. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. Therefore, no US state or territory should, or may, deny them this basic civil right.
