Gays Have the Right to Marry

 

             When you are born in America or legalized as a citizen, you are granted certain unalienable rights under the constitution and the declaration of independence. We are granted the freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion, the right to vote, right to bear arms and the right to the pursuit of happiness. But is this really the case? Are the citizens of the United States really as free as they believe? I say no! Today I am here to expose a great injustice in Americas judicial system. .
             First I will explain the details of this injustice, secondly I will take you through what its like to be a victim of this injustice and lastly I will tell you how YOU can be part of the solution. So, are you REALLY as free as you believe?? Do you REALLY have all this freedom guaranteed by the government of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?? For most of us, yes but for a growing number this so-called "freedom" is becoming more and more of an illusion everyday. I'm talking about the freedom to wed whom EVER you chose. Right now in the US you have the right to chose when you marry, how many times you marry, where you marry and who you are married by, but still TODAY in our country you cannot chose the sex of your spouse. Still in the U.S. same sex marriages are illegal and not recognized by the state. It is illegal for this con try's citizens to discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, ethic background or SEXUAL PREFERENCE so why is it that our government feels that THEY hold hat right? I believe that same sex marriages should be recognized as "holy matrimony" in all 50 states. .
             Take Meagan Murphy and Laura Carson for example. This young homosexual couple dated for many years and went though a lot before they decided that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. But how were they to go about doing so? The state of Michigan sure wasn't about to let them, that's for sure. In Michigan like all but 1 other state (Hawaii) same sex marriages aren't marriages at all! When put into a legal view gay marriages do not get any of the rights that straight ones are granted.
