                                      Should Gay Marriage become Legalized?

       We all know of someone in our circle that is gay or lesbian. This is America, land of the free and the home of the brave! So why the big fuss over gay marriage? There has been an ongoing dispute over whether or not gay marriage should be legalized.
       I stand by the homosexuals and lesbians on this topic matter because science shows, most of them have no say-so in their sexual preference. No human being just chooses to like the same sex because he or she likes a challenge and want to spend the majority of their life defending themselves. By the U.S. overlooking this sensitive subject, they are merely saying to the gay community, fight in our wars, pay taxes, vote, even adopt children, but under no circumstances can you get married. Hell, animals have rights! (P.E.T.A) Where is the bill of rights and constitution when you need it? For years even centuries, homosexuals have been frowned upon, exiled, and humiliated by almost every society known to humankind.  Furthermore, for those who are religious, GOD loves all of his children, even those who do not know or believe. If a higher power of omniscience can be that forgiving and accepting, then what gives us the right to deny anyone their holy matrimony? The irony here is that our country prides itself on its friendly mixed cultural environment, independence and individualism; however, denying this right to American citizens makes the U.S. no different from third ward country dictatorships.
       What if all gays, lesbians, and supporters decided to rally in one place and create their own form of a democracy? The world would be surprised at the crime rates compared to the U.S. I can almost guarantee that overall social and living environments would be happier and richer than the U.S. The lifestyle these people lead has no infliction on the rest of the world. They are simply human as we all are and trying to survive and overcome extreme adversity.
