One of the biggest debates today is about gay marriage. In the country where approximately 8.8 million people are gay, lesbian, and bisexual one would think that gay marriage would be passed in a country that is all about freedom. So why not freedom to marry whomever one would want to? I for one believe that anyone should have to right to marry whoever they want to. To me personally excluding that LGBT community from marrying whoever they want to is discrimination, much like how African Americans use to be discriminated against. When I ask myself why is not gay marriage already passed in the United States, I can not help but think it is because of religion. Religion seems to play a big part in the role of the gay marriage debate. A majority of Americans are Christians, which in most Christian religions teaches that a relationship between two men is forbidden and wrong. Though this is taught in a lot of Christian religions, does not the Constitution state separation of church and state. So why do we not follow this? I hope that for the future of American that this does change and that someday in the future gay marriage will pass.
