Marriage: Wo/Man, Man/Man, Wo/Woman?

Yesterday, lawyers from both sides of the argument of whether or not the Constitution guarantees the right to gay marriage met in front of federal judges to argue their case. These three judges include Senior Circuit Judge Michael Hawkins, Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt, and N. Randy Smith. Although I am not an export on the matter and do not know all the details of this case, I believe based on moral values that if a homosexual couple wished to have an official marriage that they should be able to do so. Some may argue that marriage is a Catholic sacrament and since the Catholic church is opposed to it then it should not be legal. However, if two men or two women want their bond to be recognized by God and by the church then I think that they should be able to. Who is anyone to tell another person that they can not marry who they love? And why do they care? It just does not seem very right to me.

  1. I don't know why gay marriage is prohibited in some states. If they aren't harming anyone then who cares, it is their choice. Banning gay marriage only creates a large fiasco.
