Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences

I’m not sure why this topic has to even be an issue in our society in this day and age. It all comes down to one thing…DISCRIMINATION. I have still heard no compelling argument explaining how gay marriage will affect society as a whole or how it will affect people’s personal lives. Allowing gays/lesbians to marry will in no way, shape, or form affect the average American’s life. Over half of all marriages end in divorce. Is that not desecrating the ‘sanctity of marriage’, as the opponents of gay marriage claim will happen if gays are allowed to marry? The United States was founded on the ideal that there is a separation of church and state. Our forefathers came to this country to escape the religious persecution that was running rampant in Europe. Opponents of gay-marriage claim that it is a ‘sin’ and ‘immoral’. Why are we allowing religion to dictate the laws made in the United States then? Passing laws to make society better as a whole I can understand. But again, I have heard no compelling arguments to show that gay marriage will harm our society. It frightens me to think about the fact that these extreme religious ‘nuts’ are the ones dictating what we should all believe and feel(look at the FCC for example). Please don’t get me wrong, I do believe that we all have a right to choose any religion to follow. But once people start pushing their religion on others, that’s where the problem comes in. I am a firm believer that homosexuals are born homosexual. Thier sexual preference is a part of who they are…it cannot be changed no matter what they and/or other people do. Just as the blacks could not help being black in the days of segregation and the Jews could not help being Jewish during Hitlers reign. It is 2004….why are we still discriminating?
