It's not my personal "bias" to not include quotation marks when saying "marriage" unless if I'm quoting it, other than that marriage is marriage. Most of the "reasons" same-sex marriage isn't allowed is because it goes against "god" and religious views (mostly Christians and Catholics). (What also goes against "god" is evolution, but isn't evolution a fact?) But didn't the bible state "Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:10)" Basically says it for me.

Also people believed that every child "deserves" a "father figure" and "mother figure" and children with same sex parents won't be as mentally healthy as other children. Not quite, when I grew up, I was raised by my mother who worked two jobs and wore "the pants in the family" as to my dad didn't, and my mom taught me everything a "father figure" should of taught their child and I turned out perfectly okay. I have a lot of friends with same sex parents (my best friend has two mothers and she couldn't wish for a happier life and no, she is not gay; she does have a dad but he's a deadbeat). Plus, proven tests, children raised with homosexual parents are as healthy as children with mothers and fathers. Plus, same-sex parents are more accepting of their children than common parents, where most of them deny their children because they like the same sex, so when they say "same sex parents are horrible," they should really look into all the common parents' homes and see why most of them hate their children. (found the next following reasons from a website) "It threatens other marriages" Simply how does it? I never seen anyone get a divorce in my state because same-sex couples are allowed to get married. "It Does Not Create a Family but a Naturally Sterile Union" not quite, lesbian couples can raise families, all they need is a sperm donor. Male couples can adopt or hire a surrogate to have their children. "Men and women are meant to be together"... so since I'm more attracted to the male sex and want to be with a man for the rest of my life, I can't because society doesn't allow me to do it. I like to say my attraction is not a choice, it's what my heart feels and to add on I got lucky. I do recall marriage in the constitution as a right not a privilege. We live in a country that offers citizens freedom, and I believe everyone has a 100% to marry whoever they want to marry. What most people in society (where I am, the definition of society is different rather than where you're probably from) is for "one man, one woman, only they can make children." True? Yes. Can two woman make children? Yes. Can two make have children? Yes.

Since the 2000, a lot of countries have legalized marriage equality to their citizens and they're doing just fine. In the US, only Mass, CT, NY, Maine, NH, Vermont, Maryland, Washington, Iowa and the District of Columbia allowed partners of the same sex to get married. Either by church or by state. Happy to know, test shown that same-sex couples are happier, healthier and thankful when they're in relationships. It's good to know that I live in a states where equality for all is allowed and proud to be part of the state of Connecticut. Since couples are happy in those states where they're able to get married, then why not all? Like any other couple, they show their love by giving each other their lives and spend it with each other, plus they want to get a marriage license to show they truly love each other. The same should happen with same-sex couples. I believe that marriage is an union between two people, regardless of gender, color and religion, and they spend the rest of their lives together.

Morals are different than they used to be. Back then, if you are a girl, you have to be with a man for the rest of your life. Now, if you're a woman, you can live your life to the fullest and be happy with the way you are. Same goes with men. Plus, should I mention that the LGBT community of the US and anywhere else, we're humans as well. I'm like you and anyone else on the wiki. I'm not the devil that's come to eat your soul and destroy "mankind," but I'm a human, who should deserve the same rights as anyone else, who should live freely like everyone else, who should love who my heart tells me to love (in this case, my heart goes to men) and I, like every other citizen of the United States, should have to legal right to marry the man I love and want to spend the rest of my life with, knowing we'll have insurance and be well protected financially. You have an American Dream, I should have one too. I have a life to live, and I want to enjoy it like the way I want to enjoy it. I love men, that's all it matters to me. If my future marriage doesn't affect you in any way, then why oppose it? It's not your business, it's mine. That's my freedom of speech.
