Gay Marriage

Gay marriage is such a huge controversy now-a-days. Personally, I find it ridiculous that people make such a fuss about it. I'm a religious person, and I believe in God, but I believe in equal rights for everyone.

Gay marriage, to me, is the same as marriage between a man and a woman. It's based on love, and in marriage, love and commitment are the only two things that matter. Since I believe in equal rights, I think homosexuals have the same rights as heterosexuals. I don't know when liberty and equality applied to only certain types of people. People from other countries move to the United States for freedom of everything - freedom of choice. If we don't let gays get married, should we not let Hispanics or African Americans get married, either? You cannot just rule out one type of person when equality is part of The Constitution.

I understand the religious aspect. Many religions look at homosexuality as a sin. I get that. Is homosexuality really hurting anyone? Does homosexual marriages hurt others? The answer is no. It does no harm letting two gay people get married. It could even help states financially. Marriage licenses, higher income tax.... Aren't most people on board for helping their state? Let them get married. They love each other, and want to show it like any other couple.

I also think that not letting homosexuals get married sends a message to people that they are inferior to others. If they don't get that right, than they must be lower on the totem pole, right? Wrong. They have the same rights as everyone else. This includes marriage.

I could go on and on about this subject. I find it ridiculous that there is such a fuss about this. I understand the cons of letting homosexuals getting married, but to me, they surely don't outweigh the pros. They deserve to show their feelings without getting criticized.
