Gay Marriage Should Be Legal In The US


I think that gay marriages should be legal in every state across the US. America, is said to be a free country, but by restricting a person on who they are allowed to marry, its taking away from that freedom. By making gay marriage legal it would ensure that all citizens enjoy full human rights. I personally don’t understand how allowing to people of the same sex to be legally bonded together, could cause harm to our country. Its a choice made by two individuals that should have no affect on the people around them. All though people may argue that by allowing gay marriages in the US it would be breaking all the traditional values and traditional forms of family life. But, right now America seems to be all about change, I mean for the first time ever we have an African American man running for the President of our country. If America is about change right now, they should be more excepting of gay marriages. I also think that if gay marriages were legalized they should receive the same celebration and benefits that all married couples receive. They should receive all employee benefits being offered to people with domestic partners. I personally think that the reason gay marriages have been illegal for such a long time, is because people in America are too scared to open up to change and except something new. I think if the values of loving everyone for the person that they are not matter what, was taught to people early in life, people in this country would become a lot more excepting to a plethora of matters including gay marriages.
