My Thoughts Regarding Gay Marriage

200 years ago people were enslaved because of the color of their skin, 100 years ago women could not vote because of their gender, 50 years ago you had to sit on the back of the bus or use segregated water fountains if you weren't white....today you are unable to marry someone you love if you are the same gender. This is just as discriminating as the previous things mentioned. Freedom of speech i...
s great....bigotry isn't. People who are gay don't choose that any more than you choose your gender or color of your skin. They deserve the same rights and freedoms and benefits of marriage by the federal government. What is everyone so afraid of? 50 years from now people will look back to today in disgust as we look back in disgust and embarrasment of slavery and women's suffrage.
