Should gay marriage be legal? – Yes
I believe that the legalization of gay marriage does not infringe upon Constitutional rights and should be legal. Just because gay marriage is legalized, does not mean that people will not be able to express their religious views.
If your religion doesn’t believe in gay marriage, you and other people of that religion can still believe in what you think is right. If the legalization of gay marriage will help this country move forward and conflict will be resolved, then so be it.
The legalization of gay marriage does not impact any religious groups that do not believe in gay marriage. Getting up in arms against gay rights is like going to a sandwich shop and getting mad at what the person in front of you is ordering.
I believe that it is ignorant to do so, and being angry about something that doesn’t directly affect you is ridiculous. The legalization of gay marriage is a controversial topic in America, that most people have a stance on. However, it is hard to understand why people have such a passionate stance on the issue if it does not directly affect them.
The legalization of gay marriage is a good thing. I feel that there will be less conflict because it will not affect those who oppose it, while still contenting those who support it.
Also, gay marriage was a big controversy, and there was a lot of hatred, such as the Westboro Baptist Church. Gay couples deserve to be recognized in the same way that straight couples are recognized.
Now, the conflict has been lifted from the people who were supportive of gay marriage. However, people who are against it are now displeased.
Same-sex marriage may be a very controversial topic, but whatever makes the majority of people in this country happy should be done. If legalizing gay marriage resolves problems, then this is the best option.
