The American dream is to own a house with a little white picket fence, start a little family, and have a little dog. This is America, right? Everyone has an equal opportunity to enjoy this ideal existence, right? Wrong. The American dream is currently still possible, but made more difficult for people who are attracted to members of the opposite sex. Reasons given for the opposition of same-sex marriages range from religious beliefs to the downfall of society as we know it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but forcing one’s opinion on someone else is against everything America stands for. People have the right to be their own

moral being. Forcing a set of morals on someone else against their will is absolutely wrong, yet this is what the non-legalization of same-sex marriage does. It should be left to individuals to decide who to marry.

I (obviously) believe that a person has a right to marry whomever they choose. To deny a person this is to violate their civil rights. I find current laws to be unethical and unconstitutional. Fortunately, things are getting better and hopefully equality will soon be available to everyone...even homosexuals.

Outlawing same-sex marriages is first of all illogical and secondly just plain wrong. Some have argued that the whole point of homosexual marriage is to undermine heterosexual marriages. Does this sound absurd to anyone else? Hard as it is to fathom, homosexuals want to get married for the same reason that heterosexuals do -- love. Go figure. If people would just think of same-sex marriage reasonably for two seconds, they would see that there is no reason logical why it should not be legally recognized.
