Same Sex Marriage
As soon as I saw this post in the rotunda it immediately caught my eye. Maybe this is too personal, but my sister is gay and I recently got into a big fight with my extended family over it defending my sister. They shoved religion into her face, saying the Bible is against homosexuals, but then again it's also against divorce and cursing and other things that happen in everyday life, yet there's no law against them. Legalizing gay marriage should be more secular, and religious views shouldn't determine the law. On the poster I saw in the rotunda, the 'cons' of same sex marriage included that to some people it is immoral and unnatural and that it goes against religious tradition. But law making should not be influenced by one particular religion, or some people's views on how they don't think it's right. The 'pros' included that denying people love and happiness is wrong, tradition has changed, and secular v. religious issues. I agree with all of these. All marriage should be legal, and it already is in 37 states. But there's 50 states in the US, and I'd liked to see the rest of them legalize what shouldn't of even been a problem in the first place. Everyone deserves to be happy and live the life they want to. So thanks to whoever made that poster, I agree 100%.
