Marriage exists in the United States. Competant adults who happen to
be gay are denied this civil right.


Not true. Competent adults who happen to be gay have exactly the same right
to marry a person of the opposite sex that competent adults that are not gay
have.



No, they ceremonies have been performed, and the certificates, same as
the one my wife and I have, have been issued.


Those certificates are not valid.
