Homosexuals want the right to marry like anybody else, and for the same reasons too. They are in love and want to spend their lives with this person. Even though it is possible to do this without being married; "they want to honor their relationship in the greatest way our society has to offer ". The founding fathers specified that the constitution was the law of the land. The fourteenth amendment states: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the states wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges of immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Denying rights to a whole group of people is not only unconstitutional but it goes against the law that separates church from state. .

             The separation of church and state affirms that the government cannot influence any religion and no religion can influence the government. President Bush has sworn that he will stop at nothing to stop gay marriages even though it means going against the constitution, which is what our country stands for. He is a Christian and says that it is God's will for people to commit such an act. He swore on inauguration day to uphold the law of the land, yet has done nothing to protect it. President Bush has gone as far as trying to put through a federal marriage amendment that states: Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this constitution nor the constitution of any state or federal law shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon married couples or groups. The bill was rejected by the senate in July 2004.
