Marriage and why it should be gay
Marriage should be a universal right available to all people, primarily because it is an emotional bond, not a religious or legal one. We are supposed to leave God out of our laws, it says so in the Constitution. You can't constrict an aspect of someone's personal right just because it might benefit the state either, that's just wrong. The only argument I could see being justified against gay marriage is that it might cause ridicule to the adopted children of those couples, but it's already legal for gay couples to adopt so that really isn't an issue either. Honestly I don't think this should even be an issue, since we claim to love freedom so much why can't we just let people be free, it doesn't affect anyone but themselves and the people that choose to be around them.

Nathan,
ReplyDeleteTo play the devil's advocate, why should the state have anything to do with individual's "emotions"? Can we legislate happiness; and if same-sex couples already can adopt (if this and other rights aren't an "issue"), then way worry about whether or not they can marry, given that they are already allowed to couple, adopt and be happy? (You need to read more deeply into the sources I provided).
