D1-Current+Event

More than half of all people in the United States are against gay marriage, even though three fourths are with gay rights. A lot of people get affended and hold guards against gay marriages. This causes a lot of sterotypes and a lot of this causes and misunderstanding. Many people feel that gays are very unable to keep a stable relationship. This again shows how much contriversey there can be. In strait society’s there can be just the same problems with relationships. If you attend a gay event which some are The Pride Festival or PFLAG Convention gay people say that as they get older they mature and begin to appreciate and find their way to long-term committed realtaionships. Many people assume that gays have a choice in who they can feel attracted to, Many people believe that gays could simply choose to be heterosexual if they wanted. Very few gays do have a choice and its what they pick and want to sterotype themselves as. Gay Marriages affect people who are against it and people who are for gay marriages. People who are against it are trying to ban it all over the world. There are many laws that have been passed or that are trying to be passed. “The president cited San Francisco's gay-marriage spree, along with a recent ruling by Massachusetts' highest court, when he argued last week that a federal constitutional amendment banning gay marriage is necessary.” That quote was from the President Bush. This affects gay people because they feel that they should just have the same equal rights to get married if they feel that they want to be with a person that they care for.

Massachusetts November 2003 in the supree court found that gay couples must be given equal marriage rights under the state constitution. February 2004 San Francisco “Mayor Gavin Newsom” directed the county clerk to issue gender-neutral marraige licenses. Later that same month New Mexicos county clerk began to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. Even before states tried to extend rights in 2000 Vermont legalized civil unions giving gays and lesbians all teh state benefits and responsibillities of marriage.
