Same sex marriages are now acceptable in California and Massachusetts. This means that anyone from the other forty-eight states can travel to these states and marry. No one has the right to deny anyone that right. Marriage is a union between two people pledging their love to each other in front of family and friends. The marriage is a union that will also include children if the couple chooses. There are so many children that need homes and not enough parents or families to adopt them. The issues surrounding gay marriages and gay adoption need to end.
Children need a home that is stable. It does not mean that parents have to be a man and a woman. Parents are the ones that nurture teach, love, care and support their children. Gay couples can do this just as well as heterosexual couples. Sometimes they can do it better because they can teach their kids about acceptance. They can teach their kids about accepting everyone no matter what their sexual orientation, religion, color or race. Many heterosexual parents cannot do this. The issues are mindless when you think about it.
The gay community needs to be accepted. They need to be able to marry and adopt children. Acceptance can only come when the world stops judging people and showing hate. Discrimination against anyone should be illegal everywhere. No one should have to be denied equality. The United States is a free country where everyone has equal rights. That means that everyone including same sex couples, people of a different race and color as well as anyone no matter what their religious beliefs are. Until this happens, the United States will not be a free country with equality for everyone including the gay community.
