I agree with Keith Olbermann’s stance on gay marriage. I think that everyone either gay or straight should be entitled to same rights whether it be marriage or anything else. Many people believe that according to the bible marriage is only to be between a man and a women. I think that this might be true but nowadays society is changing and along with a changing society the laws need to change. The church, government and society’s standards are continually changing to adjust to the changing of norms.  

I don’t think that people that are gay have the choice to be gay or straight. My friend once said “Why would I want to be a part of one of the most hated groups in our country?” If in fact it is biological, then I think it is wrong to not let these people have the same rights as everyone else. Today, it is more acceptable to be gay. There will always be haters but in general people are less judgmental and more open to the idea of homosexuality.

The decision of letting gay people marry will not affect me directly so therefore why should I stand in the way of letting people be happy. It is their life and their decision. If it is considered a sin in the church than that is their decision and then they can make the choice to marry or not because it is their life, not mine.

I fully support gay marriage. In the Declaration of Independence it states that we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If this is what will make someone happy then who I am to say that they can’t be happy. Gay marriage does not hurt anyone and most of the people that are against it are not affected either way. Our country claims to separate church and state. If they truly were separate then it would be legal in all states because everyone is equal and has equal rights whether they are gay or straight.
