Gay Marriage-Joel Martin

Gay Marriage is a controversial subject in the US today.  Many people are involved in the debate for or against it however I have no interest in being involved in the decision and the out come does not matter to me either way although I definitely have no desire to fight for gay marriage.  With that being said gay marriage is worth discussing because it is such a big deal in the US and for the fact that so many people are passionate about it.

The main arguments for gay marriage are

-gay marriage is a matter of justice

-marriage is a civilizing influence

-acceptance of everyone

The main arguments against gay marriage are

-marriage is for raising children

-the argument that if we allow gay marriage it is a start down a bad road of accepting more and more once frowned upon  things

-religion forbidding gay marriage

-gay marriage is wrong by definition

As I said before this issue does not mean a lot to me but I recognize its importance to others but what business would I have talking about it without at least expressing some of my opinion. The thing that makes the most sense to me is that sex primarily for pro creation and that is impossible for same sex couples. If you take away the aspect of it…. well we all love our friends and dont marry them. To go even further into my opinions, gay marriage is against my religion but not everyone follows my religion. The main thing for me is I doesnt bother me either way and no you cant have my help in your fight.
