What if you were denied rights that a U. citizen is guaranteed in the Constitution? What if you were treated as a second-class citizen because of what you believe to be fair? That is the case that all homosexuals are not only discriminated and treated badly but they are also denied the rights that should lawfully be theirs. Many Americans see no reason why Gays should be granted the right to marry. They base their argument on the bible and quote certain scriptures. The most reiterated bible passage is that "God created a man and a woman " however it is completely taken out of context. When a person states this they are indicting that the union of a man and a woman was intended strictly for the purpose of procreation. God's intention for giving a woman to a man was to give man a companion not a breeding partner. Yet a man and a woman's extremities such as a brother and sister being able to wed or even polygamy. At some point people have said that homosexual couples will lead to the end of mankind. It is completely impossible for such thing to occur. People base their beliefs against Gays on religion and even though this country was founded by religion it is not based on theocracy but a constitutional democracy.

             There are numerous opinions and standing views on gay marriage. The argument regarding gay marriage should be legalized or not is extremely controversial. According to an article from the Human Rights Campaign, there is nothing wrong with allowing homosexuals to have the same rights as those who are heterosexual. Every individual person should be granted equal rights, regardless of sexuality. Gay marriage should be legalized in all states and countries, it has been held off for too long.

             Moreover, there are several reasons why homosexuals feel strongly about wanting to be legally married. One reason that is most commonly heard is, they want to legally show their love for each other by having a marriage license.
