The Broken Spectrum Of The World - Delivered

Now there’s a hot button issue. This has been a very long running debate and after recent events, I felt it was my turn to speak out on the subject. As many know, on Tuesday we all went to the polls and voted on several issues ranging from local to the national level. In California, citizens voted on a proposal to ban gay marriage after the state’s supreme court ruled in favor of gay marriage. The proposal passed, 52%-48%, possibly voiding all gay marriage that had happened since the court’s decision. Since then, there have been thousands of protestors in the streets throughout California protesting the outcome of the vote.

I realize that a lot of people believe that God tells them that gay marriage is a sin, others believe marriage should be between a man and woman, I couldn’t tell you why. There are people that just don’t like the idea of someone being gay, everyone else either supports it or is indifferent. My personal belief is that if two people want to get married, then they should be able to, however I don’t approach situations with my personal beliefs in mind, I approach issues such as this with the general welfare of everyone in mind. This leads me to my official stance on gay marriage, which is that it should be allowed.

I see this issue as something that should be none of my business or anyone elses. We have people divorcing left and right, obviously we all have our hands full dealing with our own lives and issues, let alone presume to stand there and tell someone who they can or cannot marry. Secondly, I don’t believe the government should have the power to assume the role of dictating to people whom they can marry. This is a gross violation of our rights, just because a slim majority of people feel the need to control other people’s lives. Just because a majority of people think a certain way, doesn’t necessarily make it right.

I surely wouldn’t want others to dictate my personal life to me, would you?
