God Loves All

Many people either have a strong passion about gay marriage, or just don’t care enough to oppose. Then there are others who completely disagree because its “unnatural, and sick” Many of what I’ve heard what people say is “God didn’t put Adam and Steve, or Amanda and Eve” But religion has nothing to do with how gay people are and should never determine their right to get married.
 I was talking to an extremely nice elder woman. She had told me a story from the bible about two towns named Sodom and Gomorrah. Two angels disguised as human men had visited the two towns and stayed at Lot’s house (Abraham’s son). Before they went to sleep all the men, young and old, from Sodom and Gomorrah had came to the house they were staying at. They called out to them “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” The angels told Lot about the wrath God was about to bring down told and his family to flee the city. “the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah – from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and entire plain, including all those living in the cities…” Many people are familiar to this story and is the main reason why people say it is disgraced and why gay people shouldn’t get married. I started reading more into it. What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah? Was it just on the fact the towns were homosexual? As I am myself a Christian, I believed that God loves all his children no matter what. Why should they be punished for being gay? That’s what didn’t make sense. If these people were burned and killed because they were homosexual then why are they living among us now? They weren’t killed for being homosexual. They were killed for performing gang rape. If you reread the story then you'll really understand.
But is everyone Christian? No. They're are many other religions out there so really no one has a say on what they feel is right. Christians don't have a say on how people should be or exclude their rights because of the way they are. Religion has nothing to do with being homosexual. That's how they are born. If religion was out of the question do you know how many people would be for gay marriages? It would be based on how you see them as human beings! Not based on what they believe in.

In the Land of the Free? (or Nah?)

We, as Americans, are in "The land of the free". What does that truly mean though? Are we really free? What does free actually mean to Americans? One of the definitions says, able to act or be done as one wishes. So why is the government still debating about the subject of gay marriages? I was talking to my good friend Jordan and he had said "If straight people can be married and hate each other, then why can't gay people get married and love each other?" That really got me thinking. People should be able to be united in a partnership no matter what their sexuality is. Why discriminate? On procon.org, they state “Denying same-sex couples the right to marry stigmatizes gay and lesbian families as inferior and sends the message that it is acceptable to discriminate against them.” Its not because they just want to be different, it’s because they want to be loved just like everyone else. They want to get married and have kids just like everyone else. They want to be happy and free just like everyone else. Let them do what they want to do! Why not have the United States actually go by what they say? They get treated as if they are a different color or race. No they are African American, Hispanic, Caucasian, Asian and etc. They look and dress like everyone else and all they want to do is be happy. The government tries so hard to stop discrimination and wants everyone to be treated equal but they are doing nothing to resolve this issue. Gay marriages should be legal. This issue shouldn’t have been a discussion at all.

Gay Marriages : Post #1

One reason why I think Gay Marriages should be legal is because I have many friends that are gay and themselves would like to be wed to their spouse. My friends are very sweet and think and act just like everyone else who isn't. They all have very bright futures and even after the teasing and the jokes and offensive gestures they are content with their life. Just because someone is gay shouldn't stop them from getting married. I honestly think being gay is something people can't control. Its a feeling of attraction towards a person of the same sex. If you look up the term gay, it also means lighthearted and carefree. People who are gay just want to be happy just like everyone else. So let them.
