The Supreme Court ruled on same-sex marriage today and voted 5-4 that same-sex marriage would be legal throughout the entire country. I'm in a state of disbelief honestly; I didn't think that this would happen anytime soon. I cannot believe that one day my children will come home and ask me if I knew that at one point gay people couldn't get married. That time in our history will be compared to the segregation of blacks and whites. My children will be happy to have grown up in a different time.

A lot of people are going to be so upset, but there really is no actual argument against gay marriage. You can claim a religious difference with it and you refuse to acknowledge it yourself but I want you to think about this. I knew someone who was trying to argue against gay marriage in a paper. She was frustrated because she couldn't find any actual evidence to use in her argument. This is because there is no actual, logical reply to same sex marriage. You can only really argue your religion against it.

It isn't fair to deny same-sex couples the right to the same rights that heterosexual couples have when they get married. Whether you disagree with the passing of same-sex marriage, you have to acknowledge that these are huge strides for our country. We are moving foward with human rights and that is very important. I'm always going to believe that God loves everyone and, as someone who loves God, it is also my job to love everyone.

catch you later,
