Kid's Reaction to the Idea of Same-Sex Marriage


This video stirred contrasting emotions for me. First, I was happy, or more relieved I should say, to see the young generation of our society being raised and their ability to express their bright opinions so effectively. On the other hand, it made me think of all the men and women who raise their kids to be ignorant and shy from those who do not meet their religious doctrine. Finally, my final thoughts after this video are as follows:

If  the privilege to marry a loved one continues to be secluded from same-sex couples , then the ability to divorce should be deemed non-existent. That way, those who received state acknowledgement of their "legitimate relationship" and then wish to dissolve their commitment, will be forced to suck it up and abide by their promise to live their lives legally bonded forever! I think LGBTs should focus on deriving their own terms of a social institution to represent the union of two loving individuals because, in my opinion, society has turned "marriage" into a mockery of what it truly means to love someone, until death do them part!

Love: Freedom of Choice


What "Marriage" Stands for and Why it Should be Equal for All.


The term marriage is generally defined as the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law. According to Crawford, “marriage is a way that societies regulate private relationships between couples” (Crawford, 2012, pg. 233). Marriage is an institution governed with laws and statues that can stipulate a number of things. One statute in particular prohibits the marriage of same-sex individuals. I personally believe that this is a violation of freedom and right of expression.
