I do not understand why gay marriage is looked down upon so much in the government. If two people, men or women, have feelings and are compassionate about eachother strongly enough to get married, then they should aim for marriage and try to live a happy life. Sure, the percentage of divorced gay couples are much higher than heterosexual couples. But if two partners truly believe that they were "meant for eachother", then we should give them a chance of a happy relationship and family. If they do divorce, however, they are responsible for their decision and maybe had not made the right choice, but at least they have had a chance! American laws against gay marriages are taking away freedom and opportunities for the citizens. The gay population is rather small, but that does not mean that being gay is the incorrect behavior. Homosexual people are just different from the majority, just like a smaller race or religion is. Just because they have a different belief in life does not mean their freedom should be taken away from them. The government was far too biased and religiously established to enforce the ban of homosexual marriage. Marriage, for all I know, is two partners believing that they have a future together, and an opportunity for a family. Gay people simply aren't interested in the opposite gender, and what is so wrong about that? A law against gay marriage is a law that takes away all of the hope for a future and a family. Everyone is different – some like nature, some like video games, some like the color yellow, some like sports, and some like people of the same gender. We all have likes and dislikes, and gay marriage is just another factor of it. When one says that gay marriage is wrong and banned, they should think of how this is effecting the gay population. What if America had banned heterosexual marriage, and you were heterosexual? Put yourself in the minority's shoes, and take in the emotions that you would have – how would you feel? They may be different, but so what? I believe in equality in America, and equality will go nowhere with such marriage ban. As for the adoption issue, it would be the parents' responsibility to make sure that the child feels safe and good. If they can't handle the responsibilities, then they simply shouldn't have a child. I, myself, would not be interested in other men. I still fully approve and have no problem with seeing a homosexual relationship because I realize and truly believe that everyone has differences, and we have to accept those differences.
