Be Gay Be Marry


            In AndreaCrosser's latest blog she discusses the issues with legalizing same sex marriage in America. More specifically she point out that many states are beginning to legalize gay marriage at the state level; however the national government is not giving them to same credibility.  Crosser then goes on to discuss the issue with religion and same sec marriage.

            America was founded by white aristocratic Christian males, why would those same people want to legalize same sex marriage today? Yes, there are senators, governors, and other political figures that have gay sex behind closed doors and they may have even paid for a transgendered escort from time to time, but that's behind closed doors-(apparently that is completely acceptable).

            Another argument from the national government is that same sex marriage households are completely dysfunctional, which is completely false.  For example this student from Iowaspeaks about his accomplishments, while being raised by two women. Also, I have had several friends in the military that were raised by two men-- and yes they loved women.

            Crosser continues by stating that " On May 9, 2012 President Obama put his support behind same sex marriage ". This may have been an attempt to gain more votes from more minorities. Actions speak louder than words, so it will be interesting to see how President Obama's support for gay marriage will change the national law in the years to come.
