Let’s Agree to Disagree on Gay Marriage

Written by Chris in opinion 15 Comments →

Personally, I don’t believe in Same Sex Marriages. I grew up in a society where I learned that a marriage is between a man and women. But that same society taught me that everyone has the legal right to be happy.

Gays like everyone else; they’re just looking to be happy.Everyone deserves the same chance at permanence and happiness. Just think of this way – what if someone is now telling you that you cannot get married.

I think everyone should watch this video, and then share their views on gay marriage in the comments.
