Same sex marriage.
I agree with the gay & lesbian community that there needs to be change. Love & commitment is hard enough to find & keep in this world! How can anyone put a restriction on who it should apply too?
Obama is making speeches in the middle east about change following the "will of the people", well, isn't equal rights for gay/lesbian community also a "will of the people" issue? I can understand that many people and religious groups will say that the bible says marriage is between a man and a woman. Isn't government supposed to separate church & state? If that is the case, than the decisions made in this issue should be humanity based, not religion oriented.
I personally am born & raised Catholic. I personally am not a lesbian. Does that give me some right to tell another person who to love? NO. Does being gay equal not being able to commit to another person? NO. There are countless people in a traditional man/woman marriage that are HORRIBLE to each other! The cheat, lie, disrespect & degrade each other daily. Is THIS what the bible approves of?? Of course not. ANY relationship where 2 people love & respect each other & commit to be together in a loving nurturing relationship should be the ONLY requirement for a marriage.
