Marriage, the right of all.

In most places in the United States it is illegal for the same sex to be together in a marriage. Why is it that way? What’s so wrong with the same sex being united through marriage? I mean if you love someone you should be allowed to express that in any way you want, if that means marrying them; so be it. If a man and a man want to be together for the rest of their lives or a woman and a woman, they should be allowed to. In the states that it is illegal for them to be married it’s not illegal for them to be together or in a relationship so why not let them be married?

Our country is one nation under God; we all know this but, is that really true? I know you’re thinking, “Did he just say that?! Of course our country is united under God!” Let’s consider all the things we do that probably don’t represent being one nation under God; such as, how we give other religions freedoms, they worship a god other than God. Since we allow that and it’s not showing that we’re under God, then why can’t homosexuals have freedom and rights to do as they wish?

I think that this could be resolved in a peaceful manner if the government would just listen to the people. If the government could give me a good reason as to why gays are not allowed to be married id be fine, but they cannot give me a good reason. If they say that it’s not very Christian like, then they might as well change a lot of other freedoms that we allow in this country, or we could just make it right for gays to be married. If you think about it would you rather change several laws or just make an exception to one?

Greetings reader from inner space, I really do appreciate you taking the time out of your life to read what I have to say, if could take just a little bit more time and take my survey.
