I have always been an open minded person when it came to the views of other's sexuality. I think this has a lot to do with my childhood upbringing. When I was little, one of my close family member's decided to come out as gay after being married and fostering kids of his own. Sure it affected my family, but everyone was generally receptive and approving of the change in lifestyle. Although I didn't catch onto what was happening until a few years later, it did not change my views on him as a person.
As I grew up and entered into high school and onward, I was exposed to more people who chose this lifestyle. They have become my best friends and their choice has never affected how I view their overall quality of character. They have improved me as a person, and I think I am more well-rounded because of them.
In the end, I decided that love is love. Who is anyone else to decide who someone falls in love with? As long as you're happy, that is all that really matters. It is not fair that only a man and woman are allowed to be married under the law. Anyone who wishes to commit themselves to someone in the form of a marriage, should be allowed this gift of happiness.
I’ve always been considered a right wing conservative, but one of my only things that I tend to lean more towards the liberal side is gay rights and marriage. No matter what your sexual preference is you shouldn’t be discriminated because of it. If it’s your American Dream to work be happy and spend your life with someone of the same sex, who are we to tell you that wrong. It’s your life and you should live it the way you want. Also when it comes to marriage the government has no right telling these people who pay taxes that there way of life is wrong and isn’t allowed. One argument that people make is it’s against the bible and gods way. My argument to them is premarital sex is against the bible and so is divorce, but yet both are socially acceptable today with no repercussion. So tell me what’s the difference? Another argument people say is they don’t want to see two guys kissing or showing public display of affection. Call me old fashion but I hate watching heterosexual couples showing public display of affection and I know I’m not alone. Why are people afraid to accept the fact that gay people are out there and they should have the rights as a heterosexual couple?
