Is marriage an english translation? So you, being a christian, have more rights than other American citizens?

Nope, anybody can get married. But, like God has said, when men start to do the following; Romans 1:27 (KJV)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
It's wrong and therefore the institution of marriage is not available to them.
