Gay Marriage....A Constant Battle.

There has been a lot of anti-gay sentiment and it's pretty sickening. While this country was formed on religious persecution, we as a government should be religious no more and should hold a secular role. The banning of Gay Marriage is purely because of people’s religious views, hatred, ignorance, and stupidity. If two people of the same sex are in love why not let them get married? Do they not have feelings too? Should we not award them the same insanity that straight married couples have? Is the argument that people think two same sex people can't raise a child properly? While I can understand they can't procreate, they can still adopt children and raise them as a couple, and nothing is stopping them nor will anything do so. You don’t need to be married to raise a child, as we all know. While I feel a child should grow up with the appropriate mother and father role models, I wouldn't let my personal feelings get in the way of what someone can and cannot do. Is it that the parts don't fit how nature intended? Haven't we all heard the saying that what we do in our own private lives is our own business and nobody else's? Marriage should be a right for everyone. Marriage is a sacred relationship that is an official and legal bond, bringing two people together so they can share their lives with each other. Homosexuals should be afforded the same right as men and women, so they, too, can have that special bond with one another.
