Gay Marriage Statement

While this country was formed on religious persecution, we as a government are to be religious no more and should hold a secular role. The banning of Gay Marriage is purely because of people’s religious views etc. If two people of the same sex are in love why not let them get married? Do they not have feelings too? While I can understand they cannot 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 will not let my personal feelings get in the way of what someone can and cannot do what they deserve as a right. 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.
