Gay Marriage



Legalize Gay Marriage
by Stephanie Lopez Rivera 
  
For many years people have been talking about homosexuals rights.I believe this topic would never have an end. A lot of people agree and disagree with it for many reasons. I think that if you are in favor or against, you should say your opinion with respect and there is no reason to judge someone in any way. People tend to say things in a rude way but, do you do the same thing? I can say three reasons why people disagree with legalizing gay marriage. Also, I will tell you why I do not agree with the reasons I'm about to say.
  The first reason, is an important one. People disagree with legalizing gay marriage because of religion. Some people ask me, what religion do you follow? I prefer not to say. For me, it's kind of a private and emotional thing. I can say though, I do support and have no problems with gay couples. 
   The second one, would be society. People create and say bad things without knowing what they are really talking about. They just see the bad side of things. Some don't have values and criticize. They say their opinions without respecting others. If everybody truly respected one another this world would be different in many ways. You can't say one thing and then show another with your actions. If you have something to say, always remember everybody is not the same. Society should pay attention to their own life and mind their own business.
  The third reason, is that they disagree because of the parenting. Some don't believe it's right for a child to grow up with parents of the same sex. I think it is not fair to say that. What is the difference being bred by a mom and dad that have values and being bred by two dads or two moms that also have values? In my opinion, there is no difference. I think it's not really what sex is the person you choose but how is the person you choose to be with as in personality and character. If the person is bad and has no values or morals, now that's a problem.
   In conclusion, it's a topic where people are always going to be in favor or against it. I think people shouldn't judge and let them have the same rights. They should get married because they're humans and they should be allow of being part of something so important like love and marriage. There should be equality and justice in this world. What do you think of instead of saying: " We should tolerate diversity " we say, "We should accept diversity". Accepting is the first and the most important step to eliminate crimes of hate and to unite as humanity. If we accept, humanity will join. If humanity joins, the equality of the human rights will become reality, and if it becomes reality, peace is within our reach. In the end, would you rather see two men holding hands because of love or two men holding guns because of hate? You decide.

Since I support legalizing gay marriage, Here's a video of Ricky Martin talking about President Barack Obama supporting gay couples ;
