Gay Rights Have Gotten Out of Hand

In the recent years, gay rights have been a huge topic in the United States. Gay marriage has been legalized in many states, including where I am writing this blog here in Iowa. I am not for or against it but more neutral than anything. I’m not for gay rights but who am I to tell someone they can’t live that way here in America? People take this way of life way out of context. People are also very touchy when someone speaks their opinion over this highly debated topic. But is it really even worth the fight in the first place?

            This great country was based on freedom of speech and freedom to do as you please to be successful or happy. Our founding fathers even said that we all should seek “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”, no matter what that may be. This can be directly associated to gay rights. If a gay couple can tolerate a man and a women being married, then everybody else should do the same. A lot of people these days take offense to the stupidest thing. A perfect example is from a college on the east coast who had to change the names of Christmas trees to Holiday trees because it offended other people. Like I said before we all have the right to believe and think the way we want and nobody has the right to tell us otherwise. We shouldn't judge other people’s beliefs as long as they are not hurting others or disturbing people.

            Now a lot of people say that they do not agree with gay marriage is because the Bible says it is not right. They believe that gay marriage is just plain wrong and that they aren’t accepted in the World of God. This might be the stupidest thing that any one person can say to another. A true Christian would believe that God loves everybody no matter what they do or how they live their life. This is what makes me doubt that we will all survive this world. When people say that to other all it is, is an excuse.

            No matter what you might believe, it is not your job to tell someone how to live their life. If gay people can deal with everyone else why can’t we all deal with their beliefs? People need to see that times are changing. These people who decide to live this lifestyle aren’t hurting anybody. They are just trying to live a normal life like you and me and we should all accept that.
