My views on gay mariage

[kılıç_mehmet]

As most Americans probably know, there is a debate going on right now on whether or not same-sex couples should have the legal privilege to marry. My opinion is that they SHOULD be given this privilege. My reasoning is very simple. The first amendment of the Bill of Rights gives us a few freedoms, one being freedom of religion. I think if our citizens have freedom of religion, than so should our laws. Once you get past religion, same-sex marriage is just a certain group of people not getting a privilege that everyone else DOES get. This has happened before. For example, women were not allowed to vote in presidential elections, colored people had to give up bus seats to white people, etc. They all got their rights in the end, and I believe this should turn out the same.

Good for you my friend. However I'd actually advise you to save the insitution of marriage for people who actually matter, people who can have children, biologically, so that they create families that conform with the idealistic standards for a family.
From what I hear, marriage in the US is being demonized in the eyes of heterosexuals as being an institution that is out of date, that families can be formed from non-married couples, and even a single parent with children can be a "family" of sorts. You're essentially destroying the concept of family for those that marriage was meant to be, while encouraging it for those who it wasn't meant to be.
But hell, it's your own country, and if you want to destroy the age-old institutions of family, and what a marital couple is actually trying to archive, go ahead. Make marriage accessible to people of all sorts of depravities, kins, and etc. Hell, allow polygamy, and the right for people to marry inanimate objects if they wish so, since marriage is so worthless and without a purpose, that gays actually fight for the rights to get married, while their supporters tell things quite the opposite to the heterosexuals: that it's an outdated custom, that you do not need to be married in order to be in love, while encouraging sexual immorality, such as promiscuity, and defending plagues upon society such as prostitution, drugs and etc.
