For some reason, same sex marriage has still not been legalized in every state of the US. Although, some state have it legalized, there is no reason why it shouldn't be legal everywhere. Basically every argument against same sex marriage is thrown out the window with the simple statement: "Separation of church and state."
Now, if that's not enough to convince people to accept same sex marriage, I'll talk about some other reasons against it.
For starters, the argument that marriage is only for procreation. Well, does that mean an infertile man or woman can't get married because they can't have children? Or an old couple? Either way, that argument ends here.
To continue with my next point, I'm going to reference a comment from someone. Apparently, if the government allows gay marriage then we will be condoning inter-species marriage. For example, if a person says he/she loves a dog, than he/she can marry the dog. Now, honestly, do I even have to point out what is so clearly wrong with this? Allowing one HUMAN to marry another HUMAN, is not the same as allowing a human to marry a different species. It's just beyond ridiculous to me.
But because of people being so ignorant, couples of the same gender aren't allowed to legally get married everywhere, and isn't there something screwed up about that?
I think for one post I have covered enough, next post I will write about why it should be legal.
Agreed. Marriage should be a right given to the people, regardless of whatever church. If they don't agree then I'm pretty sure another will. Personally, I think it's a no-brainer and we should be focusing on education and the economy instead of trying to control people's sexual orientations.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion it's not really so much people being ignorant, church and state may be separate but the thing is that it is extremely hard to keep religion out of politics. Religion being the main reason why many people don't want to legalize same-sex marriage, in the bible it does explicitly say that homosexuality is a sin, and that's enough for some people. Ideally we would like to keep religion out of politics, reality doesn't allow it. Personally, I define marriage as between a man and a woman, BUT I don't have any grudge against gays or lesbians, I would never pass a personal judgement on them until I at LEAST talked to them. If gays and lesbians got the right to marry, then I wouldn't be affected in a bad way, I would say "Good for them," and get on with my life. Giving them the right to marry would never harm anyone, they should just legalize it and let the matter rest.
