Gay Marriage

Possibly one of the most sensitive discussions of the modern day in the United States. Do we deny others the rights to marry based on religious values that many do not share to begin with. Or we do we allow the "sanctity" (if there really is any left) of marriage to be "broken". Beyond being unconstitutional, we are absolutely denying Gays their Human Rights because our government, Christian run mind you, says that Gays are a threat to the system of marriage. If you ask me, the system of marriage is threatened by the over-control that is placed on it by our government.
Since ancient times there have been reports of Homosexuality, its in the bible and many surviving texts from other cultures. There are slurs for homosexuals from ancient times, as much as there is today, but that still doesnt make it right or place any difference on these individuals. We mark gays as something entirely different than straight people, but in all actually there is the minute difference of sexual orientation. I know, youll tell your self its a sin and needs to be treated, well grow up and do some REAL research into the subject at hand. The crusades ended long ago and I feel its honestly time for some real equality to be given. In america there is a large pandemic of child molestors, murderers, theives, and crooked politicians; yet fe focus on gay marriage as a "problem".

So lets take a look act the facts as it stands.

1) Being gay is not a disease, and most believe that gays are born the way they are (my self included)

2) There are larger problems than gay marriage, just because the bible says something doesnt mean you can enforce it on others.

3) Not only is our government controlling marriage by law, they are controlling the right to deny marriage by law based on religious principal (wheres the seperation of church and state)

4) The "sanctity of marriage" was lost long ago when people started cheating on each other, amongst other relationship "no no's".

Ask your self honestly, is denying ANYONE the right to marriage who is an honest working tax paying citizen (of any country or nationality, religion, or sexuality) right to do just because the bible dictacts some ancient code? I dont feel it is.
