Same-Sex Marraige: Equal Right
Same-Sex Marriage: Equal Rights for EveryoneMost people these days are in favor of equal rights for homosexuals. They agree that gays should have the same rights in housing, jobs, public accommodations, equal access to government benefits, equal protection of the law, etc. Then you get to the subject of same-sex marriage and suddenly all of the talk about equality stops dead cold. Many of the same people who are even passionately in favor of gay rights, still oppose the legalization of same-sex marriage. This is simply because of societies' constant fear of change. When modern times have forced us to re-evaluate a situation with the possibility of making a change in society, people simply turn their backs and refuse to listen.

Another myth that many people believe is that the children of same-sex couples will grow up corrupt, or homosexual because of the bad environment and examples that their parents are setting for them. If so, then infertile or sterile couples should not be allowed to marry either, nor should those who are past childbearing age, or those who simply choose not to have children. But the case was appealed and no marriage licenses may yet be issued. In other aspects, not only are the children of homosexuals equal in every quality to straight-raised children, they can actually be more secure and self-confident than children raised in single heterosexual homes.
