This one's from SONJA

Obviously I'm not the person to be writing about same-sex marriage. Although my opinion isn't set in stone that I'm against gay marriage, I definitely have grown up to believe that marriage is a holy matrimony between a man and a woman. Another thing that comes into play when I think about this topic is my religion. I've been raised as a devout christian and homosexuals aren't necessarily a great thing in the christian community. I accept people for who they were and would never discriminate someone just because they think and live differently than me but that doesn't mean that I have to agree with their decisions. Whether it is legal or illegal for someone to marry another person of the same sex doesn't affect me in any way in all honesty. I believe homosexuality is something people bring upon themselves and is, for lack of a better word, taught. Reading Santorum's interview about the subject, I agreed with many points he brought up. The gay community hasn't tried very hard to get their case across. I mean marriage is supposed to looked upon as joining a man and woman together in the strongest relationship possible. If anyone can just get married it might dieter the importance of marriage and significance of it. BUT I have been assigned to be for same-sex marriage so here we go...The laws of our country should be valid for any citizen of the United States. Whether they be black, red, blue, rich, poor, old, or young, everyone should have equal opportunity. Who is to say that a homosexuals' love isn't real unless they themselves are experiencing it? Everyone should be allowed to show and make their relationships legal under our laws because of obviously emotional reasons, but also fairness in financial situations and getting ahead in life. People get tax breaks for being married and it's unfair for someone who wants to be and can't, can't also get those breaks in life. I will also go into articles like The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage and quote other people's opinions who are all for it.
