What if your best friend fell in love with their soulmate and wanted to marry them...and were told that they couldn't?
What if YOU found the person you were meant to spend the rest of your life with, and you were told you weren't allowed to?
This is the plight of gay people everywhere. Every day,in addition to the social stigma that they have to bear, gays everywhere are denied the right to marry.
This, to me, is completely illogical. Love is love. All love is equal, and the love between a man and a woman is no better than that love between two men or two women.
In addition, I would just like to point out that homosexual couples routinely report being happier (on average) in their relationships than heterosexual couples, and that a large number of adults who deal with depression and bipolar disorder are children of divorce. Homosexual couples are less likely to break up, and they are more likely to raise their children in a tolerant and loving environment. I'm not saying all gay couples are good and all straight couples are bad (I'm straight, so obviously I don't think it's bad), but I just want to debunk a bunch of the myths surrounding that particular issue. I'm not posting sources on here, look it up.
And if you bring God into it, then personally, I find it hard to believe that God would hate any form of love. God teaches us to love one another, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.
All love is equal. Equal rights for all.
Keep it classy and fabulous!
