Gay Marriage

Maybe it's living in New York that has made me such a liberal. Maybe it's been my highly liberal parents. Or maybe it's just been common sense to me.

ANYTIME in history when we, as a society, have treated a whole group of people badly, we have been simply wrong and cruel. Think about the jews or the blacks. These were groups of people that were TORTURED simply because they belonged to a specific group of PEOPLE... Just when you would think we would have learned, you see how far behind this country is with gays. We have come pretty far but NOT far enough. We need to reach a stage where sexual orientation creates NO differences whatsoever.

It is scientifically proven that sexual orientation is inherited by DNA, it is a GENE. Not a disease gene but rather much like black or white skin is a gene or like green eyes is a gene. It is also scientifically proven that gays' brains are wired different- not in a "wrong way"- but again more like one person's brain is wired differently from another person's brain.

The Webster Dictionary describes marriage as an intimate union between two people that love each other. Now, if two men love each other, or two women, how is that any different than a man and woman?

For centuries, it was considered highly wrong for a black and a white to marry. Now, however, we see how stupid, intolerant and ignorant we were. How is this different?

Which situation would you consider better for a child, a child to be in a healthy, encouraging environment where they are cared for and nurtured by two dads or two moms or in a third-world-country orphanage?
