The question that is being circulated in the media recently is should gay/lesbian couples be allowed to enter in a legal marriage? The resounding answer has been or seems to be yes, at least from the general consensus. The fact that government believes it can define what a legal marriage should be is just ridiculous. How can you say that it should only be allowed to a man and a woman because its intention is for procreation.
I believe that if two people love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together that they should be allowed to, even by making it legal and going through the same legal process that straight couples go through. This is not a matter that the government should even be involved in, just because they choose to have different morals and they have power to enforce or change laws because they see this as a matter that infringes on their morals and because they're scared of change doesn't give them the right to interfere in peoples lives who choose a different lifestyle.
There's an article in Dailymail that writes about this Georgia Republican chairwoman and how she believes that if we make gay marriages legal it could lead to fake marriages by straight people just to receive government benefits, which is just ridiculous because people do that now to help get things like green cards, insurance and any number of other benefits that are granted to legal married couples and the government hasn't done anything to prevent these things from happening.
So I say to the government stay out of the lives of those that just want to be happy and show it like everyone else who is granted marriage. What gives you the right to judge?
Some might say gay marriage is totally fine, while others oppose the idea of gay marriage. According to The Bible, marriage of the same sex is something that is shunned. In fact, it is a sin to engage in sexual intercourse with that of the same gender. As human beings, we were born with free will. We can choose our own path in life, we have the freedom to decide whether we agree or disagree on certain things. The United States is shaped by The Constitution, and this document tells us that we are born with rights. Immigrants come to the United States in order to attain this freedom that we have here. The government does not have the right to interfere with ones sexual status and I personally agree with this. However, I also know that this is a topic that contradicts with what my beliefs. In the end, we have no right to decide how an individual should live his own life. Indeed, "What gives you the right to judge?".
