Mass. outlaws ban on same sex marriages

[Rio and Me]

They say you cant control who you "love" so is it your fault if you love someone who happens to be your sex?
Most of the gay people ive met (my best friend is gay/he a man)
are the kindest most loving people ive EVER met!!
they say its hard to find sutable homes for children, so when a gay loving couple come up whats the problem!! they should have the same rules on adoption as "normal people"!!!

I think people who love each other should be able to be together...PERIOD. I have never understood what the big deal was if 2 gay people wanted to be married. Why not? They love each other, are committed to each other, then they should be able to reap the benefits of being married.

At the risk of offending some people, if you go to www.billoreilly.com , his poll right now (probably until tomorrow) is about the gay marriages. Not surprisingly, when I voted yes that gays should be able to marry, the results were 90% no and 10% yes, but, maybe the enlightened ones on Pet Talk could change the numbers.

Uuuuggggh.....we have to right an 8 page persuasive essay on a "social issue" in my English class (in groups). We were just throwing out ideas and writing them down. Well, guess what they chose? Same Sex Marriage. And guess what their stand is? Against.

Honestly before Pet Talk I would have been against. But now I feel "enlightened" from seeing everyone else's views and opinions...I really don't want to write it as against....I have to have 2 pages done by tonight......help!

you might point out that in the united states, 1- that all citizens are ..."created equal..." and that the 'benefits' of one group of citizens ( i.e. marriage) cannot be denied to another group of citizens. draw a parallel with voting, both with black people and with women. 2- point out that Article4, section 2 of the american constution states "the citizens of each state will be entitled to all privileges...of citizens in the several states." californians get treated the same as ohioans. 3-point out that amendment 10 states that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constution, nor prohibited to the states, are reserved respectively to the people." this is the constutional right to privacy, in other words, we, as american citizens, by the great gift of being american citizens, have the right to be left alone by our government. this amendment is the basis for the right to privacy, as expressed in birth control, the ending of the legal prohibitions for interracial marriage and the decrimilization of the anti-sodomy laws. hope this helps.
