Same Sex Marriages

            
             For many years a battle has been undergoing over whether equal rights and protection against discrimination should be extended to homosexuals which was recently expanded into the area of marriage. The topic of homosexual marriages is a common issue today like the nation's capital, where representatives are finding ways to make this agreement unlawful. This topic has been debated among many, who brought up many valid points, but the reality is that homosexual marriages are wrong and we, as a country, should not overlook such acts. Many believe it is wrong, but is it?.
             Marriage is defined as the society whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal belief for the purpose of beginning and upholding a family. Some same sex marriages may be talented enough to manage financially, however the negative influence has been proven by children raised in a homosexual household. Not only would same sex families deal with negative allegations in conditions of their children, but most religions in North America frown upon the joining together of same sex relationships and limit marriage to one man and one woman. Many critics hold conflicting views, arguing that same sex marriages harm no one and that to deny them the right to marry is unconstitutional.
             Over the past years, President George Bush a many others had made homosexual marriages into a major issue in society bye trying to make same sex marriages illegal. Many couples grow angry towards President Bush and decided to get married. One celebrity that has this type of lifestyle is Rosie O"Donnell and her wife Kelli Carpenter. They had kept their secret relationship within their families for about four years and also adopted three children. After the president announced the issue with gay marriages, and how Florida law prevented gay couples from adopting children, Rosie decided to become public with her lifestyle. "I wanted there to be a reason" to talk about her sexuality, she says.
