This is a bit late, but I have been meaning to put this up. As all of you probably have seen the red equal sign people have been making their profiles on Facebook (or at least heard of this sign), this article talks about how the Supreme Court struggles to act on Gay Marriage after California same-sex marriage was banned.
I feel that same-sex marriage should be allowed and if someone doesn't, why should someone not be allowed to marry the person they love? What is wrong with that? I don't care if a girl marries a girl or a guy marries a guy; if they truly love each other, why is it a problem? I support equal rights for gay marriage.
What do you guys think?

I don't like how it has come down to the courts to decide this issue. This honestly shouldn't even be a political issue. Like Aubrey said if two people really love each other, who is the government of all people to tell them no? Many Republicans are even to change stances on it so why doesn't congress just put it through. It's a secular government so religion should not be an argument and as for protection of traditional marriages I find that awfully selfish of some people to say.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. Love is love. Our government should not be involved with this issue because people have decided to make it religion based. The equal signs on facebook give me hope that one day the word freedom will be true for EVERYONE!
DeleteI agree completely, The government shouldn't be able to tell people who they can and cannot marry. It should be an issue of people, not for the government to get involved in.
DeleteI have never believed that government should ever be involved with marriages. Marriages are between two (or more, if you're a polygamist) people and God, and I don't believe I see the word "government" anywhere in those in the relationship. Yes, I'm sure marriage benefits are nice but I feel it completely ruins the sanctity of a true, non-governmental marriage. With that being said, I feel that each church should have the right to decide if wedding a gay/lesbian couple is viable under the Bible, Torah, Koran, etc. If one church doesn't agree with the marriage, that's fine, and they should not be compelled to do it. If they do agree with wedding a gay couple, that's fine too, and they can go ahead and wed that couple under the watch of God.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Brian that the court should not have a say in ones decision of a partner. This should not be political! It is about time that some of the Republicans are willing to loosen their stance. I also think that it is a very good idea to incorporate the social media with this issue. I believe that the social media is the broadest and most efficient method of getting a message across when executed correctly.
ReplyDeleteJay, you do realize that there are good amount of Republicans that support gay marriage....
ReplyDeleteThis is not a matter of party or politics. This is a matter of basic human rights. Sexual orientation is not a choice. Therefore, who has the right to say that two people who love each other can not enter into a sacred commitment? This isn't about what you personally believe. If your religion or your own moral compass does not support gay marriage, that's fine. What isn't okay is to prevent others from achieving equality. The constitution is supposed to "secure the blessings of liberty," and from what I am aware of, there is no legitimate constitutional justification for banning gay marriage. I strongly hope that the court rules in favor of equality.
ReplyDeleteI think the Brian has the best point in saying that the Supreme Court should not be making the decision because it shouldn't have been a governmental decision in the first place, but it is so now the government has to deal with it.
