Marriage is so gay- make gay marriage legal

Gay Rights

I write this with love- and if love conquers all, then we should all open our hearts to be more accepting of one another. I think it’s obscene that people would use religion or the name of “ God” to convey their bigotry. There is nothing worst in the world than intolerance- we’ve learned it time after time. Throughout history we’ve seen just how evil ignorance can be.

In the United States, we fight for “ liberty”, but what is the meaning of freedom if every one is not considered equal? Gays are not allowed to marry in 29 states. Separate but equal? No such thing.


Gay is the New Black

There was a sign at the Equal Rights March that read, “ Gay is the New Black”. I thought that sign to be true in the sense that Blacks were segregated in the U.S. for a long time, and Gays are discriminated in the U.S. today; and the government is not doing too much to help end the discrimination.

In 1869, the lawsuit Plessy vs. Ferguson opened people’s ideas on what the true meaning of the phrase, “ Separate, but Equal” was. Blacks were entitled to the public services that White Americans had- but in different places exclusive to African Americans. Separate but Equal ? No such thing . The facilities given to Blacks were of lower quality than those given to Whites. And this gay rights marriage act is a lower quality than those given to straight citizens.


Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

As for a veteran from the crowd yesterday, I heard him shout that the "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" policy was “Hell”. It’s unbelievable that people can’t talk about their real feelings or disclose their lives while they’re risking their lives for a country they believe to be so “ free”.



Marriage is so gay. Make it legal.
