I was watching the view and they were talking about gay rights, one of the ladies made a point about the fact that if I did marry another woman what does that do to your marriage. It is such a tough subject because there are so many people out there who believe that homosexuals cannot be married. They can have a civil union but they will never be able to truly married.

As young kids we are always told that we grow up get married and have children. But if you are not the norm that is suddenly not expected of you. Because you are gay you are no longer expected to get married in fact you are not even allowed to. So these expectations that are made to us no longer is feasible. How is this right? How can a government decide who I am "allowed" to marry. It really just lights a fire underneath me and I am not even in this situation. If I love a man or a woman I want the right to be able to choose who I like.

I would like to be able to have children if I want to. They are now making laws that you cant take in foster children if you are not married this also effects gays from taking in children. Is this law targeting gays? Maybe this will past was there not a point where the marriage of a black and a white an issue.

People can claim that people are worried that people will get married that are for special benefits but does that not happen with straight couples? Couples are getting married all the time to allow people into the country. but no that doesnt matter. ... more later
