Anyone can get married in the USA too, as long as you meet the age requirements or have parental consent otherwise.
And are willing to marry someone they don't love.
If one thinks that being in love is an important part of marriage, then, no, gays don't have the same rights to marriage that non-gay people have.

Speaking personally, I find few things more awesome than contemplating this vast and majestic process of evolution, the ebb and flow of successive biotas through geological time. Creationists and others who cannot for ideological or religious reasons accept the fact of evolution miss out a great deal, and are left with a claustrophobic little universe in which nothing happens and nothing changes.

Only in Connecticut and Massachusetts can homosexuals legally marry.
I think that his point is that homosexuals can marry in every state...as long as they are willing to marry someone of the opposite sex whom they actually don't want to marry.
Why does he think that this is having the same rights as non-gays? You'll have to ask him.

Did you know that they have freedom of religion in Iran, too? Just as long as your religion is Islam and your worship stays within the limits set by the state.
As Henry Ford said, you can have any color you want as long as its black.

Re: are you for real?
Not false at all if you read what I said instead of read-into what I said.
Well, he can be forgiven for thinking you were saying something that made sense. What you said was like saying that they had freedom of speech in the former Soviet Union -- anyone could voice an opinion on state policy as long as their opinions were within the bounds set by the state. That is true in a trivial sort of way, but makes no sense in a serious discussion about rights.
