Many citizens have different opinions on gay marriage. Some people think that is isn't right because it is a sin in their religion ("Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve") or that it would weaken the definition and respect for the institution of marriage. Others think that denying same sex couples the right to get married is a violation of their religious freedom and it is a form of minority diiscrimination.
I personally agree with those who believe that same sex couples have the right to get married and denying them that right is unconstitutional. Letting same sex couples get married does not hurt anyone in particular and it does not hurt society or the institution of marriage. It is a person's right to do what they want in this country as long as it doesn't violate any laws. Aren't people in this country supposed to be free? Free to speak their minds and free to get married to whomever they want to. Not that long ago we thought that it should be against the law for people to marry outside of their race. Now, as we look back we think that's crazy! I believe that we are going to look back at this time and think "What the heck. Why didn't we let same sex couples get married? How stupid." just like we think it was stupid for us to think that people shouldn't marry outside of their race. Same sex couples should be treated equally and fairly and that means they should have the right to get married. Man and woman, woman and woman, man and man, it doesn't matter. We should all have the right to marry whomever we want to marry. It should be about love, not politics.
