This weeks article of the week is on Gay Marriage, and how the Supreme Court set to decide a National Debate on it. This article really kind of made me angry, and any subject like this usually does. I do not think it should be illegal for same-sex marriage. You cannot help who you love rather it be the same sex as you or not, love is love. It really makes me mad when I see gay people being judged for it.
Why make them feel bad about themselves for being with someone that makes them happy? They should have the same equal rights as straight couples that get married. I do not see why the court feels the need to have to take so much time of their lives to argue over if they should pass same-sex marriage or not. According to this article they set aside 2 ½ hours last April just to argue over it. To me this is discrimination. I am by no means gay, but I do have quite a few close family members that are, and i love them to death.
I would never treat them any different because of who they love. Can you imagine how they feel having to fight to marry who they want to be happy with? Just let them have peace. As the article said “The outcome could be a landmark ruling giving gay and lesbian couples a right to marry nationwide under the constitution’s protections for individual liberty and equal treatment”(Savage 1). I think this is how it should have been all along.
Why are they just now bringing up the constitution's protections for equal treatment? Especially after all these years of nip picking and fighting marriage for gays. I know some it has to do with religion and Christians fighting it, but if you are anywhere near a christian or a religious person then you aren't suppose to judge people and should treat everyone equally.Why not just make it legal and let them live a happy life?
