so you can observe the freedom in same sex marriages, but you can’t observe the right to be in a same sex marriage? I don’t follow, it’s the same thing.

If it’s a right encoded in law, you can see it written down in the text of the relevant law. Freedom is no less abstract than rights.

Show me an atom of equality, or a molecule of freedom. They don’t exist in the universe. Just like rights, they are a lie made true by our common belief in them.
The idea of Rights is embedded in society. That embedding has a lot of value. It stops people riding roughshod over them.
