Let Them Be

         I agree with Marla’s statement in her blog stage 5 article that “same sex marriage does not have to be accepted by everyone but it should be respected and treated like any other marriage”. Some people say that accepting same sex marriage will change the definition of marriage. I don’t think that is true, I don’t think that the gay community is seeking to redefine marriage, I believe all they want is to be accepted and treated equal like any heterosexual couples.

         People against gay marriage also argue that it is against God’s law. There are bibles for every religion even though some of them may be called different names. I have not read all of them nor am I going to but according to the one I have read and heard preached about, God does not say same sex couples cannot get married or that they are cursed beings. So my question is who are we to judge them so and deny them their rights?

         Another reason people against same sex marriage give is that it is against the law of reproduction. I find the above statement untrue because one can get kids in many ways now days.  If these couples want children, they could adopt some of the children who are suffering and those who have no parents or use other methods.

My point is that we are all made happy by different things so, if a same sex couple believes that getting married will make them happy forever, let them be; no one should deny another person their happiness.
