Gay marriages have been a hug debate in recent elections for the past years. Gay marriages have caused much uproar for people all around the world. Then there are those who simply do not care. Marriage is a sacred union that is the legal joining of two people of the same sex. Gay marriages are the legal joining of two people of the opposite sex. Many religious groups are not excepting of the fact that two men or women want to join together in what is known to most as holy matrimony. Gay marriages is a very serious issue; many accept it, reject it, and many others elect to just ignore it.
People that oppose gay marriages are mostly those with strong religious beliefs. These people believe that marriage should not be of those of the same sex. They argue that it is an unnatural act. The religious people who state the bible does not encourage or say those two men or two women should join in a union together are judging them and that is not their job to do. I have heard many religious believers quote that God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve or Amy and Eve. Many others stand behind them and agree.
Gays, who have decided that they want to marry their life partners, say that love has no sex, gender, or race. The Gay community would argue that the people who claim to be so holy and religious and are against Gay marriages are not really living right because the bible states that we are not to judge others, God will judge them on judgement day. Many people live with hatred in their hearts towards gays. What makes hatred right when Christian say gay marriages are wrong? The gay community advocate that says deserves the same rights as heterosexual couples. Gays argue that they are denied benefits on both the state and federal levels; such as health care, hospital visitation rights social security benefits and the ability to file joint taxes.
