Full Marriage Equality is a Human Right

A friend pointed this out to me. From the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 16…

Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.

Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.

Notice that it does not limit how many people may be married, or their genders, or their relations or lack thereof. The Declaration is compatible with full marriage equality.

Every nation should adopt full marriage equality, so that an adult is free to marry any and all consenting adults.
