FINAL Gov't Post
There is a topic going around that the majority of Americans are familiar with. This topic is being broadcasted by the SCOTUS is about the constitutionality of gay marriage and the bans on gay marriage. In June of 2015 the Supreme Court will be holding a court hearing and make a final decision on whether or not same-sex couples are granted the same rights and equality akin to heterosexual couples. The main concern for the public is that whether or not the federal government can bury state rights and say "Gay marriage is legal and most be recognized in every state."
Those who support gay marriage obviously say that everyone deserves equality and the lack of discrimination in their life. Yet those who would say that homosexuals do not deserve the equality - they have very different and very odd reasons. Some compare that homosexuals marriage will affect them the same way that witnessing a murder does and others say that children will be affected by the homosexuals being parents. More "reasonable" reasons are that same-sex couples will be affecting the religious facilities of Christians and other religious folk.
My opinion on gay marriage is that there should be an equal definition of marriage, at least in the legal definition. Gay marriage should have to be recognized in every state and that does not mean that every priest has to go out and cater gay wedding ceremonies.
