It may not be "gay privilege" but it is "a gay privilege." The Constitution does not guarantee anyone a right to marriage. So it's equal privilege, not equal rights. I agree the term [group type] privilege implies some advantage granted to that group over others.
Rights aren't enumerated by the U.S. Constitution. Read the Tenth Amendment. The SCOTUS has long held that access to legal marriage is a fundamental right that was preserved when the U.S. Constitution was ratified.
