The Meaning of Marriage
Recently, there have been a lot of issues with Same-Sex marriage and what benefit's you are subjected to. I however, beg to differ about who should be able to marry or not. Marriage has been cut up and reformed to what a certain group of people want it to look like but truly it has no image. I think marriage is when 2 people love each other and are committed to spending their whole lives together, despite the fact of what gender they are. Unfortunately, a large group all across America don’t believe in the same beliefs. Same-Sex marriage has been banned or considered to being banned in over 30 states.
In November of 2008, Proposition 8 was supported by 52% of American’s in California after the courts had already ruled that the thousands who were wed are valid. The BBC's Peter Bowes states, “We won the White House - but lost on an issue many believed had already been resolved by the courts.” The fight against these issues have been bitter and still no one has prevailed, making it frustrating for those who seek results. I am one of the many soldiers in this battle and I support the right of Same-Sex Marriage.

Secondly, I have a response to read.like.roses:
If someone is atheist, are they entitled to the same rules? And, yes, you are being closed-minded, because you refuse to acknowledge the opinions of others and even consider them slightly because of your conservatively locked-up interpretation of the Bible. So, um, when in the Bible does it say, "Thou shalt not marry the same sex, lest thou shalt surely die"?
And to Color*My*World:
Very interesting opinion. Marriage is religious, yes. But because of the century, shouldn't it be redefined like our wonderful country was made?
