Marriage is a Human Right

I found this amazing article in the Burlington post written by and 8th grade boy. It was titled Being accepting, happy with who you are are key to 'point of life' here is the link to it: http://www.insidehalton.com/opinion.....-point-of-life
there was a person who commented on that article that is negative and the website wouldn't process my comment back but here is what I would comment if I could:
Marriage is founded on two people who love each other and are committed to one another. It has nothing to do with procreation because if you haven’t already noticed, hundreds of thousands of people procreate without being married. Oh, and many of these children are put up for adoption for a chance at a better life. There are thousands of gay and lesbian couples who adopt and give a loving home to these children. These couples are taking care of a large portion of the human race. Your right, marriage is not a privilege it is a human right and EVERYONE deserves the chance to make a commitment to another human being, for better or for worse, no matter what their sexual orientation or gender identity is. How dare you speak about bullying in that way. Thousands of people all over the world have had to face severe bullying that shakes the very core of who you are. You do not know what real bullying feels like because if you did, you would not have written this comment. If you are going to voice such a negative opinion then you better be ready for people to voice theirs because that is there right, just as marriage is a human right. Sexual orientation is not a choice. People did not choose to be gay any more than you chose to be straight. The only difference is that these people have embraced who they are in order to live a happy, healthy and fulfilling life. If getting married is something they want to do to contribute to that happy, healthy fulfilling life then that is their choice, not yours.
