Princeton Prop 8

Why is Gay Marriage "Wrong"?

Being that I am attracted to the opposite sex, I couldn't imagine living in a world where the social norm was same sex attractions. A world that told me that that was my choice and that I could chose to be gay if I wanted. I can't chose to be attracted to the same sex any more than a gay man can chose to be attracted to a woman. The ideal of falling in love and sharing your life with someone is something that drives almost every human being. I can't tell you what determines a person's sexuality, but I can tell you that it's not my place to deny them the same rights that I would be able to enjoy. Gay Marriage is not about destroying the "sanctity" of marriage; it's about allowing equal rights for all. I think we would all agree that a black man has every right to marry a white woman. This was not the case a mere 40 years ago. This is an issue about civil rights, not about religion or morality. If you believe it's a sin to be gay, that is your right, but it is not your right to ban what you feel to be questionably immoral. If you wish to ban gay marriage on a moral stand point, then do you also wish to make laws against premarital sex and adultery? Separation of Church and State was created for a reason. So the question is not, will Gay Marriage destroy the "sanctity" of marriage; but, does every human being deserve the same civil rights that I am blessed to have?

What does the legalization of Gay Marriage mean to you?
