Vermont's civil union law
Vermont's civil union law would be good for the country in a number of ways, some of which are not so much ethical, but moral. Allowing a man to be united with another man, or a woman with another woman will not signify the end of society. Will it bring about changes? Absolutely! That is what this entire argument is all about; change. Change is unpopular. It tears at the glass walls of our individual paradigms, creates chaos and uncertainty amongst some individuals, and puts almost everyone in a state of "uneasiness". But change always occurs! Could we have come this far as a society without change? Technology, medical science, education, and our abilities as humans are pushed to new boundaries each and every day. This would not be possible without change. Most of us tell our children it's not nice to say derogatory remarks c
We educate our children that they must be "open-minded" and that god gave them a brain that is capable of doing and creating such wonderful things. same sex marriages have always existed!!!! They just were never authorized, or recognized by the state or federal government! There has always been a percentage of the population that has been "gay" or "lesbian", and a percentage of that have lived with one another in seclusion from society. I believe in allowing same sex marriages. Maybe women shouldn't have the right to vote? Maybe no person should be entitled to hold land or any property; everything should belong to the state? Maybe marriage outside ones own race should be outlawed? Maybe blacks should go back into slavery? Would society have been a better place if change hadn't occurred? Should we vote to go back to the way it was? How many of us would want to do that? When all these issues were at large, there was similar sentiment about them as there is about same sex coupling. This is about acknowledging we were wrong, and don't have all the answers. Some were for it, others were against it. Furthermore, we as a society know that this is the case! So, in reality, this is not an issue about same sex marriage, but more of an issue about allowing them to come out of the closet and be recognized at equals, and be a recognized part of society with equal rights and opportunity.
