Why I Am Against Banning Same-sex Marriages

Giving someone a label based on sexuality is prejudicial, disrespectful and causes bisexual individuals to hide their true selves. I feel like having strict parents cause teenagers at the age of 13, 14 and maybe adults cause silence and makes them keep things to themselves. They feel alone and dont have anyone to talk which cause depression and stress because they feel like they should have a close relationship with their parents. There are alot of people that are judgmental and don’t care about other people feel so they say whatever but not in a kindly way.

The attitude towards LGBT is wrong and I find it disrespectful, if you don’t have anything nice or positive to say then keep your comments to yourself. You have to think about other people feelings and the background behind their life. . “Coming out is a crucial juncture that can often make or break the child-parent relationship”. This gives them a low Self- esteem about themselves. They should feel like they should talk to their parents about anything and have an open conversation and be comfortable about the situation. As a parent see where you child is coming from and see their side of view because if not and you just go straight with your opinions on how they should live their life that will make them feel down and make them not wanna talk to you again about anything because of your comments. Some kids are just scared to come out period because of their religion and some families just don’t support it at all, and they just don’t come out until they feel like it’s a comfortable time or maybe they just hide who they are. Parents play an important role in health of their child. According to USA Today, "because more and more, [are] understanding that that ... acceptance and support from family is the critical mediating variable in terms of risk factors".

Gay marriage should be legal and people should live their lives on how they want to. Everyone makes mistakes and commit sins, what sin is bigger? Everyone is equal. Before 2004, four states had banned gay marriages. In 2004, 13 states saw their constitutions amended by referenda to ban gay marriage. Between 2005 and Sep. 15, 2010, 14 more states followed suit, bringing the total number of states with constitutional bans on gay marriage to 30. People should be comfortable to be around other people without the negative comments and the hate. On July 14, 2004, an effort in the US Senate to pass a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage received only 48 votes of the necessary 60 votes for the proposal to proceed.

I believe that same-sex couples should be able to get married. To defend the anti-gay marriage measure after it had been ruled unconstitutional by a District Court. The decision was considered to clear the way for gay marriage to become legal again in the state. Everyone shouldn’t have a label on who they are and how they carry themselves. ” “The US Supreme Court hears arguments in the case, Obergefell v. Hodges. The Court’s ruling will decide whether states can constitutionally ban same-sex marriage”.
