Response to Amy and Sean's View on Gay Marriage

It's a shame that it has to be discussed whether two people can marry. I agree that it is not the government's business whether a gay couple can marry.Neither is it people's business that it doesn't concern. The majority of people that are against gay marriage aren't gay and don't understand it fully. To start my argument I will present a point that I believe to be fact and crucial for people to understand.*People are born gay. It is not something they decide, or do to rebel. Some people do deny they are gay, because of societies views on it. This can hurt someone's life tremendously. The problem starts when people don't believe that people can be gay, denying that it is a part of their genetic makeup. So, the people that feel that gay people aren't legitimate treat them as it they have a flaw and are unequal. Therefore they don't deserve the normal rights of an individual. An individual should have the right to marry someone they care about and want to spend the rest of their life with. So, to dispute the opposition of the basic right of marriage, I will take some points from fellow classmates. Sean's arguments are as follows. "If we start to allow this marriage it would be the beginning of ruining the flow of mankind. There are several different problems related in marriage such as allowing Mormonism, one husband having multiple wives, and under teenager marriage." * I'm not sure what is meant by the flow of mankind. Mankind is gay, straight, black, white,handicapped, and unique with different needs.Not everyone fits onto one path.* There is a fear that allowing gay marriage will lead to forms of unacceptable marriage, such as that between two siblings. There are practical reasons for that though. There are genetic diseases that happen siblings have offspring. In gay marriage that is not an issue. Also where is the demand for a marriage between siblings? There is none, or no interest groups that I know of. Large groups of people will not suddenly want to marry their siblings. Amy says: "Now that California has legalized same-sex marriage, that only encourages more previous laws to be challenged in order to fit the lives of our changing society."Changing one law does NOT lead to other laws being changed. If it did then no laws would ever be enacted! Freedom of speech is an ideal we live under. It could lead to the mass overturn of the government, but it doesn't. Laws provide us with limits. Amy says that the idea for same sex marriage only came into our minds as society became more corrupted. This validates my former point. Amy believes that gay people are corrupt. People that have this view will not understand homosexuals right to marry, because they don't understand that it is an undeniable fact of life. These people need to be educated, so they can make informed decisions. Hearing that Amy thinks gay marriage is disturbing is upsetting. Some people base their feelings against gay marriage on their religion. The bible does say marriage is between a man and a women. It also implies that sex is reserved only for marriage.So how many people that base their feelings on gay marriage also don't have sex before marriage?I would like to hear some substantial arguments for gay marriage so perhaps I can understand more where people come from when they refute gay marriage. Please feel free to contact me. I believe that education will help people better understand this issue. That it comes down to basic human rights, and the pursuit of happiness, which everyone deserves. Gay marriage will lead to a happier society, not a tainted one.
