Same-Sex Marriage

Okay, as we all know, there is a big controversy over whether or not GLBT’s are allowed to get married or not.  The Christian faith is separated on this as well.  Although many think that it tis sinful, there are also many out there who are neutral and others who see it as morally acceptable.  As a Christian, I feel that it tis wrong to judge others who have a different sexuality other than heterosexual.  I admit that I am bisexual and I have been now for about 3 years but only for about a year have I been open about it.  The reason why is because there are people, MANY people, who feel it necessary to judge and insult those who are different, those that like the same gender, but honestly, I just find that horrid.  “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” (Declaration of Independence).

This quote, this very meaningful quote that our founding fathers wrote, is a strong reason to allow gay marriage.  Yes, we’re all created equal and we have the right to be happy.  Why can’t people just see that homosexuals are happy with the people they love?  I can compare this to the fight, the struggle for blacks to gain their freedom.  The GLBT community is trying to gain their freedom, their rights, just like African Americans did.  My friend Brooke once told me, “Love is love no matter what and if it’s true love, they’ll fight to keep it.”  Let me ask this question:  If you were deeply in love with someone and the country, the world, told you that you weren’t allowed to be with that person, how would you feel?  You’ll feel heartbroken; you’ll feel the need to fight for your love.  That’s how homosexuals feel.  Our country doesn’t see the matter how we do.  The majority of the country sees it as a sinful act towards God, but that’s not how we see it, we see it as our fight to have the right to love, to be with the person we want to spend forever with, just to have the same rights as everyone else.  I asked my friend Chassidy who is dating my best friend, “How do you feel about same-sex relationships?” and she replied with, “I’m fine with them because the love of my life is gay.”  See, by not allowing same-sex marriage, they’re keeping people who love each other from being official, from saying the words “I do.”  Now I asked my best friend, Amber, “What would you say to people who judge homosexuality?” and she answered, “I’d tell them it’s my life and I’ll live it the way I want.”  So to elaborate on what Amber said, I would like to add that people are in charge of their own lives and no one should tell them how to run it.  In my opinion, I see nothing wrong with same-sex marriage because it’s not harming anyone.  Just let love happen, allow for same-sex marriage because I’m here fighting for it and so are many other people, some who are even heterosexual.
