Same Sex Relationships By: Estela Aguilar
Growing up I was always taught that GOD made Adam & Eve not Adam & Steve. However, this day in age our society is changing rapidly. Same sex marriages & relationships are more common. Those who are religious & stick to their culture beliefs oppose to same sex relationships. Should we be worried about same sex relationships? Are we losing sleep at night because this is happening? Chances no we are not and if that’s the relationship they chose to be in then, only they no why? After all even though most don’t agree, it is their life. Depending on who you are in society depends on how much this topic bothers you. The Washington Post in a June 2008 article says that same-sex couples are as committed and happy in their romantic relationships as heterosexual couples.
Not only are relationships of the same sex happening but, now they are getting married and even adopting children. There many laws & people apposing to any of these choices. Some people cannot fathom the idea of same sex relationships. Not only are the adults having same sex relationships but, as many as 7.2 million Americans under age 20 are lesbian or gay (according to Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays).In high school it is also more commo to see gay & lesbian relationships.
What does society think of this? Well 55% of Americans would object to having a gay elementary school teacher 49%of Americans would object to having a gay doctor (PFLAG). If your own child came out and said they were in a same sex relationship would you disown them? People have concerns due to the times changing and this being seen more around the country. Even some celebrities are in same sex relationships ex: Ellen DeGeneres &Portia Rossi tied the knot in April of 2008. My guess is that these relationships are not going to stop any time soon, so those who are not for it really cant do nothing about it. Even though their beliefs are against it. We all do things in life that others may not believe in.

I’m not necessarily a fan of same sex marriages but I completely agree with you. It doesn’t really effect me and my daily life and I definitely do lose sleep over the fact that other people of the same sex are getting married. It is a different life style but I support adoption with in same sex couples. there are so many children who are in need of loving parents and a permeate home and I don’t believe same sex couples should be denied the right to be parents for these children in need. I hope in years to come this wont be as big of and issue as it is today.
