Madi Vivian- Gay Marraige

Today, it seems as though the topic of gay marriage is very talked about. Aside from being extremely popular—people also seem to still be arguing about it; therefore making it extremely controversial. I, personally, believe that if two people are in love or want to settle down with each other by “tying the knot”, then they should be granted that ability, no matter what their sex is.
Throughout history, things like abortion and women’s rights and, now, gay marriage, have been extremely controversial—but when considering, do the people who are against gay marriage have a real argument? The only argument that I usually hear from people against the gay community is that “it is just not right for the same sex to be together” or that “G-d meant for a male and female to be together—not both”. I laugh when I hear this.
Two of my best friends are gay. They are the nicest, funniest, and most down to earth people I know. But this isn’t because they are “gay”. It’s just because AS A PERSON, each individually are great. Growing up in a tight community—which doesn’t accept gays as easily—it was very hard for each of them to accept even themselves as what they are. I couldn’t fathom the fact that someone may argue against their happiness.
A person’s sexuality is like a straight person having a certain “taste” in the opposite sex. You cannot change the fact that you may like another male or female. The people that are trying to take away/ are against gays having the ability to marry, to me, are evil. Getting married is a persons’ decision, and if two people want to spend the rest of their lives with eachother—then, no matter their gender—they should be granted that ability.
