Be enacted by the whole of United States of America that same sex marriage should be allowed in all states of the nation. Neither one person nor group can define love, and yet it is under the constitution that marriage is defined as bondage between a man and a woman—I do not agree.
Marriage is simply a bond and recognition of love between two persons whether they are of male and female or that of the same sex. It is immorally just to pilfer an emotion as pure and innocent as love from someone. In addition, it is a crime against nature to see to it those in love cannot share such a sacred and harmonious celebration under oath and be respected as married couples among other entities of this state.
Indeed, marriage recognition can simply be gifted sentimentally and not documentarily, however those with sentimental marriages can loose out on the privileges given to those with documented marriages. The United States has always been an advocate for the eradication of discriminatory acts and yet gay couples have endured countless discrimination against them for over the past years of American history. Because same sex couples cannot be legally recognized as married couples by the government, they are not entitled to living wills, advance directives, or any shares that married couples of opposing sexes are entitled to when disaster strikes. The United States of America should ensure full enact privileges to everyone, including same sex couples, for all men and women are created equally—I applaud the four Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Judges for making the right decision to recognized same sex marriages in the roots of equality and justice.
Moreover, I am ashamed of those of religious decent who are so willingly and vehemently opposed to same sex marriage. Indeed, it may be that others are practicing an act considered immoral against one’s religion, but it serves no right to abandon and forcefully imprint these beliefs among those that do not follow one’s religion.
The United States of America is edified upon virtual freedoms and liberties, one of which is the freedom of religion. If the United States of America does not recognize same sex marriage because of the understated religious beliefs then is it not a violation of the fundamental morals and values this nation was founded on? And if it is so that the opposing views upon gay marriages are not induced because of religious beliefs, then what is it that is bothersome to those opposing gay marriages?
Perhaps one should consider the 50% divorce rate in this country verses some same sex relationships that have been kept steady for thirty some years and beyond. Why is humanity today so ignorantly blind?
This is not an issue of religion, nor is it an issue of power. It is simply an issue of fundamental rights and values a person has—the equality of humans to be loved and respected.
Marriages should be recognized as a bondage of love between two persons. Love is a wondrous thing and we have no right to bar a feeling as eccentric and good as love. Ban intolerance for gay marriages and support full and equal rights of all citizens to marriages of all kinds!
