Gay marriageBy Briana SolanWhat's the definition of marriage? Two people who love each other and Stand before god and unite. O.k. Correct. So why is it that 75% of the world deems gay marriage as "unconstitutional?" straight people marry all the time for the wrong reasons. Maybe 1/4 of those heterosexuals marry for love. The others marry for money, to be legal, or even unknowingly. So what more than half of the world is saying is that two straight people who hate each other have more of a right to be together than two gay people to love each other? Bullshit! Why is the world so afraid of change that they would stop two homosexual people from sharing in the love that two heterosexual people experience? They have a right not only as people but as human beings to take the steps to the final commitment. It has been said that same-sex marriage go back to the 3rd and 4th century.Historian John Boswell claims the 4th century Christian martyrs Saint Sergius and Saint Bacchus were united in the rite brother-making, which he calls an early form of religious same-sex marriage. Both the Roman Catholic and Christian Church opposes of same-sex unions, arguing that acts of sexual intimacy are only proper between a man and a woman, and even then should only take place when they are married. The government agrees and states that the definition of marriage is an act between a husband and wife and that two men or two women is not morally acceptable. The most common objection to same-sex marriage is with same-sex marriage the couple is fertile , and that the same-sex partnership is inherently sterile. However there have been many cases where same-sex couples have adopted. Not all appose to the thought of same-sex marriage. It is very legal in Canada , Boston, Iowa and Massachusetts. Many people leave their home town and come from all over the world to travel their and get married. Many who live in the state are greatly against it and say the constitution does not allow it. But no where in the constitution does it bane it or consider it “un-American.” The it is clear to me is that if they can tell you who you can and cant marry then they can tell you who you can and cant be. If they continue to ban gay marriage across the state then soon there going to make a law that bans you from being gay! And I bet they wont stop there!
