Gay marriage is a subject that is very controversial. There are people who agree with same sexes being able to marry. Then there are people who completely shun it. I feel that anyone should marry who they want. People shouldn’t be limited to who they love. This country is known for its “freedom” so why not give everyone the “freedom” to marry who they want. I feel as if the older people are the ones who are opposed to it because their so use to having the traditional marriage. Us younger people are more opened minded about the subject. Then of course the adults say no your too young to understand but truthfully we do, were just not afraid of the change like they are. Everybody is just so use to the traditional marriage of man and woman. Which doesn’t always work out as statistics show. The divorce rate is at it’s highest. The society we live in today is the reason why there’s a rise in suicide because kids think they’re different and will never be excepted. Which is not how they should feel at all. Just because their not straight should no be a reason why people should judge them so harshly.

My mom happens to be a huge advocate for traditional marriage yet she has gay friends, I find that to be hypocritical. Supposedly a man at her church “use” to be gay but has now changed by accepting god into his life. Truthfully I think he’s just hiding his true self because of this society. One question I do have is how can the religious people be so against gay people when god put us on this earth (according to the bible) and he obviously made them that way. I know it’s a controversial question but it’s true.

  1. I believe people hide their true feelings out of fear of someone hurting or harrassing them.

  4. I agree with you that gay and lesbian couples should be able to marry. We should all be able to choose who we want to share the rest of our lives with.
