Love is just love.
Same sex marriage arguments have been around for as long as I can remember. Today, same-sex relationships are all around, in the media, on the streets, in schools, and at work. It is becoming more socially acceptable as the years go on. So why should same-sex marriage be a problem? Did you know gay marriage has been legalized in the following eight states: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Washington, Maryland and the District of Columbia. 30 states have constitutional amendments banning gay marriage. That's more than 50%, in fact thats 60%. The world is beginning to be more understanding, more open about people, why not just accept it. Men and women don't choose to be gay to hurt people or disrespect them. Growing up we are told to be who we are, and to follow a dream then, if gay, told you are not to marry. Seems unfair. We all eat, breath, walk run, love, hate, talk. Why can't people love whom they want? Marry who they want. Be who they want.

This is a good start, and I like that you are already throwing down statistics. Just be wary that you don't let your own assumptions (of course it's okay!) overwhelm your charge to present a cogent and compelling argument (one that counters points made by the other side). I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
