The Current Social Practice

Gay marriage is a new change that is slowing taking over the country. Even though it is something that is looked at as wrong in the eyes of many, it is still the right that they believe they should have. I to can relate to what is going on in the letter. Even though it is not slavery this is still very important to our people and our country . It involves peoples lives that can changed by one law. Now I understand that some people feel that it is wrong due to the fact that it goes against what is in the bible and what is intended for the man and woman in marriage.

The people in this country feel that the marriage of the same sex is wrong. They feel that they should not have the same rights as everyone else who wants to get married. They want more then to be recognized by every more; they want the privileges that comes with being married. This current social practice is one that is taking some time for states to adapt to. Even though there are a few states that allow this to happen many others weren't so quick to join the ban wagon. I'm not sure if this is because of what other states will say or if they truly feel that it is wrong and against what America stands for.

I do understand that this is something that is looked at very strongly because of how it is against the bible. That would mean that we are judging them because of who they are wanting to be with. It has to be hard for them and I believe that they know how this looks to the religious eye. This is something that they have to deal with in the end. I understand how religion plays a major part in this but if I am correct we separate church and state so this should not stop them from getting what they want and what will make them happy. This is like biracial marriages. They were not liked by many and still to this day many people are still not in agreement with it but it is not against the law. I understand that everyone will not be happy with the choice but they are not the one who has to live with it. There is a lot of things that get passed as laws that people are not happy with so this should not be an excuse either.

This ties to slavery in a way because many people believed that it was better to have African-Americans in slavery. They were a lot of people who fraught for slavery for a very long time. They wanted to keep them there. It took along time but the laws were passed so that they can be free. Even though African-Americans went through a lot to get this law passed they still fought long an hard to get what they believed. This is the same as gay marriage because they are still fighting to what they believe. They are going against the odds of what people think to get what they want. This is like the people who were fighting to be free. They got killed, beaten and etc. just to get away. They wanted to get to that promise land. They wanted to get what they thought they were going to get.


My point is that even though there are many people who are against gay marriages it shouldn't stop them from getting married. They have enough to go through so this shouldn't be one of them. I know that it may be wrong but who are we to judge. They want the same rights as everyone else and I feel that they should. If it is something that they have to deal with in the end then let it be. I also say that like slavery they should keep fighting towards it and one day they will get their message through and get what they want.
