I APPROVE THE GAY’S DO YOU

BY:JERRILEE TINEO

My cousin is gay. I think that he would feel really upset if someone told him he couldn’t get married (if he wanted to). Our family is not that religious, like some other people are, so we except that my cousin is gay. I think that it is imperative that gay marriage should be legal because they have the right to get married like every body else, the second reason is because it doesn’t always have to be a man and a woman, and the last reason is because they have the right to love who ever they want.

Gay marriage should be legal because they have the right to get married. If a man and a woman CAN get married, then why CAN’T gay’s get married? I know some people go against gay marriage because of there religion, but the doesn’t mean that they can judge based on that fact. I also have a religion, but the part that gay people can’t get married I don’t believe in that. Obama has band gay marriage, but he disapproves and approve of gay marriage. On a interview for MTV he has said,” I’ve stated my opposition to this. I think it's unnecessary," Obama told MTV. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about," he told MTV, "Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them," he added. I am glad that a least he stood up for the gay people.

The second reason why gay marriage should be legal is because it doesn’t have to be a man and a woman. Like I said in the second paragraph,” If a man and a woman CAN get married, then why CAN’T gay’s get married too.” A man and a man or a woman and a woman Can get married, in my opinion. I think that it’s not anyone’s business if to people of the same gender want to get married. Some people that are really gay, but didn’t tell there family’s or friends are forced to get married with people that they don’t really love( like a different gender then you are) because they are afraid that there family would react in a way that they would despise him/her. Another thing is that the person’s family might be embarrassed of the reason that him/her is gay, the family doesn’t want people to start talking. I always wondered why can’t gay people adopt. Some people think is because of the way that gay’s raise a child differently. I personally think that they would raise the child like anyone else would. Some other people think it’s because when gay people raise a child that most likely the child would be gay also, but that doesn’t always happen. Also some people think that that is wrong for too of the same genders to raise a child. My sister Jerrine said,” I approve of gay adoption because I think that every person that wants a child should have one.” Some people also think that if a gay couple raise a child that that child would dislike there parents because they are gay, also because if the child goes to school that child might be teased by other kids because of there parents being gay. I think that people are billowing the situation.

Final reason why gay marriage should be legal is because they have the right to love any gender. When a person falls in love they have there mate. If too people of the same gender fall in love then they should be mates too. People can’t tell others who they have to love, everyone picks on there own. Other people don’t have the right to change anyone’s true love. If to people love each other, shouldn’t they be allowed the same right’s. There’s a right that say’s that you won’t be able to see your wife/husband if there the same gender, I think that that’s not fare because other people that are married of different gender could be able to see there wife/husband. Gay people don’t always pick who they fall in love with, some of the people that are gay probably didn’t know they were gay at first, like they didn’t want to admit that they like a guy/chick. You see some people don’t expect to fall in love with the same gender, it just happens. My friend Jennis said,” I think that gay people like all people should love who ever they want. People shouldn’t change or judge them because there gay.” When a famous person is gay, some people get surprised because they would have never guessed that that person would be gay, but people really never care. So why are people questioning gay marriage now and not than?

Hopefully, in the future people would approve of gay marriage. I hope that my supports of gay marriage can change other people’s minds. Like I said in the first paragraph gay marriage should be legal because they have the right to get married like every body else, the second reason is because it doesn’t always have to be a man and a woman, and the last reason is because they have the right to love who ever they want. All of the supports that I gave for my reasons I hope that people would take a look and think and change there minds because the gay marriage is the same thing as regular marriage.
