same sex marriage

I feel that he is trying to get the government too involved in the lives’ of the citizens. They had to wait so long for the opportunity, and then wait in long lines just to receive a right that should have been available to them all along. He claims he does not want to “change the meaning of marriage”, or ratify the constitution, but his own personal beliefs are obstructing what should be done. The luxury of planning an elaborate wedding and having tons of friends and family attending is not easily had by a gay couple. ” He does consider that these “serious consequences” may be a greater awareness of gays and the rights they deserve, or an overall better understanding of equal rights. Bush says, “Marriage cannot be severed from its cultural, religious and natural roots without weakening the good influence of society.

The first community to issue marriage license forms to same-sex couples was in the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, on May 17th, 2004. It is up to those involved, be they straight or homosexual, and up to them solely. Nobody deserves to be told who they can or cannot marry, and continuing to disallow everyone the same rights harms society. As far as “natural roots”, what is unnatural about loving and wanting to marry someone? This feeling should not have to be associated with what sex the two involved are. I don’t understand the opposition to gay marriage that so many Americans have, President Bush included.

I do not believe that who is marrying who should be a concern of the government, churches, or any other organization. There is nothing that will stop two people of the same gender from being together, why are they being stopped from marrying one another?. Couples are getting married, but the situation is still far different from that of straight marriages.
