Liberty is blind to gender. Except in your selfish, special interest world.

Again, the issue isn't about freedom to marry. You can pair up with anyone you like. But our society places a value on gender pairs, and some are more important to society than others. It has nothing to do with liberty. You freedom only extends so far. Make the wrong choices with that liberty, and you can expect different results. You are basically whining for equal outcomes again. I've already explained why that won't fly.

Actually they fit perfectly. Opposite sex pairs claiming benefits is a clearly-defined, easily enumerated class.

Actually, you missed the word "individuals." Special rights are granted to certain classes of individuals. Not certain classes of groups. To prove this doesn't apply to marriage - simply name the special right you think straight people have been granted that gay people are denied. You can't.
Further, the "special right" you claim exists is openly and freely available to anyone. So I guess it's not that special, is it?
