Write the name of the candidate you wish to vote for on the ballot rookie.
Loopholes. You can write-in any candidate of your choice. And your marriage hypotheticals... you're only being denied the right to marry that person. You could always marry someone else. Even heterosexuals could argue that they're being denied the right to gay marriage. lol If a gay person wants to be legally married, he or she could by all means marry someone of the opposite sex.
Those are just arguments I've heard. I'm gay myself, so I don't necessarily believe any of that.

You can always write in your candidate of choice.
Marriage isn't a right, it is a privilege which the society one is in grants or doesn't, just like obtaining a driver's license and keeping one is a privilege granted by the society in which one lives. Most things people like to call rights are actually privileges, they've just constantly had them without much hassle that they tend to feel they are supposed to have them rather than that they have to earn them or be given them. So, in answer to your second question, the answer is no. You aren't being denied the right, you are being denied the privilege. Maybe if people attacked the issue that way then they would make more progress.
BTW What I wrote only applies to legal marriage. Anyone or anything can marry anyone or anything else at anytime, usually. Depending on the society in which they live, however, that marriage might not be considered a legal marriage and so that society may not recognize it as a marriage in those terms. So if you wish the marriage to be legal, then you need to be granted the privilege by the society in which you live. There are some societies, though, where conducting a marriage ceremony, whether legally binding or not, is illegal in that society.

No. Your preferred candidate (or party) has been denied equal access to the ballot. Here in Oklahoma, it's particularly difficult for a third party to get on the ballot.

NO, you have been "manipulated" to believe only two "choices" are optimum.
the best things to do is NOT vote, and stop paying taxes. and ultimately WE should have a NON federal voting election, and elect a TRUE president, which will gather armies against the current Federal Criminals and have a Civil War that needs to be fought in righteousness for the Bill of rights and Constitution.
ultimately this is what SHOULD happen. but will it happen,
in defense of freedom of religion, faith, family. this is what needs to happen.

You need to go back to civics class and learn about the U.S. voting procedure. It's called a WRITE IN.
By analogy, if you have a child and don't want it, can't you just kill it? Aren't you being denied the right to not have children?
Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, are ya hoss.
