Same-sex Marriage

I'm really tired of people saying that marriage is between a man and a woman because that's what the dictionary says. Or that "God" didn't make men for men and women for women. Does that mean people who are not religious or who believe in a different God or gods are exempt? And if people cared so much about the definition of marriage and of being politically correct then they would actually be loyal and honest to each other, right? Not out there flirting and committing adultery.

People need to open their minds. Two people who are in love should be able to be married to each other. If you want to push this religious stuff then lets just say they can't be married through the church. But living together for years, and in many instances decades, and not having the legal rights heterosexual couples do is just unfair. It's wrong to treat people like they don't have rights. To keep civil rights from them. Why do some people care so much about what goes on behind someone else's doors? Live your own life. If you don't want to marry someone of the same sex then don't, but stop telling someone else that they can't marry their soulmate.

I don't even think this is a decision our government should be making. Let the people of NY vote. And if the marriage debate is too intense and still cannot be resolved, the least the government could do is allow civil unions. If you have an opinion on the matter feel free to share it with me, but don't berate me or try to change my mind if you don't agree with my views.
