Unalienable rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (the pursuit, not the the guarantee of) as delineated in the US Constitution.
As to who you marry? Why not? It's your life, you are free (liberty) to do what you will (without violating the law) and to go for what makes you happy. If marrying a three legged hermaphradite with six boobs and a hairy back is what rocks your boat, who is it hurting? It doesn't affect anyone else's life, their freedom to marry who they want and if it doesn't make them happy, well, happiness is not guaranteed.

The term Unalienable rights has a very specific and unique point of origination in the United States Declaration of Independence. Unalienable rights, which some have also linked to the term Inalienable rights, are stated to be an endowment by the Creator of men who are also defined as mankind and that the Creator is defined as being Nature's God and the author of the Laws of Nature. These unalienable rights include Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

No, our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are unalienable because they come from God. (endowed by their Creator). Unalienable means they do not come from any man made government and cannot be taken away by any man made government.
This does not provide any right to marry anyone or not marry anyone. Your argument is specious.
If you are trying to justify Homosexual marriage I am sorry but there is no justification for it. Allow me to explain.
We must understand what marriage is. People can live together in any arrangement of numbers and genders they choose. People can have children out of wedlock if they choose. All of those arrangements may be acceptable but there is one thing they will never be.
They will never be the "ideal". That is all that marriage is, a recognition of the ideal situation that has been proven to be the best for society as a whole. One man, one woman bonded and committed to each other and responsible for providing for all offspring that result from this exclusive union.
This has for many centuries throughout the world has been demonstrated to be the absolute best arrangement for the production of good, healthy and well adjusted citizens.
By no means is it the only way but it is the ideal way. There can only be one ideal. Either marriage means this or it means nothing at all. Pure and simple and that is the reality of it.

Unalienable rights usually refers to human rights, natural rights that are given by a higher power than man and that should never be taken away. Like "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is one list of "unalienable rights".

Life, liberty and the pursuit of private property, as it was originally written. That means minimum government taxation and interference in my private life and opposition to the socialist agenda of the Democrats.

I think it should read inalienable rights and responcibilities.
