Gay Marriage

Gay marriage is not a new topic to the political stage of the United States, however it is one that has grown in support over the last decade. Our country has progressed beyond our previous oppressive beliefs about race towards universal equality, we are still kept down from reaching this goal because we have yet to nationally accept gays. In a Amendment proposed to the Constitution in 2003 by Marriage has been defined by many as "the union between a man and a woman."

This amendment clearly has not passed, but it puts the debate to a head. This proposed amendment is an attempt to block individual state constitutions and laws from allowing homosexual marriages. For over 200 years our country has not accepted gays for various reasons ranging from the Bible saying so to simply homophobic tendencies. Being gay is not and has never been a choice that people make, and this is a realization that many liberal democrats have made. The only reason why the reason why gay marriage acceptance laws have not passed are because a large amount of conservative republicans have opposed this issue strongly for a long time.
