This is not really a news article, per se, but it brings up the topic of Gay marriage, which is a topic that I have been wanting to blog about since 5:00 this evening. This article starts off mentioning a story of two people who waited for 55 years to get married because of the gay marriage laws in California, then goes on to tell people to tell their stories of same sex marriage. My issue with this whole thing is,
why does the government keep trying to put up laws trying to ban same sex marriage when right in the Declaration of Independance it states that one, all men are created equal, and two, all men are endowed with the unalienable right of the persuit of happiness. If one person wants to marry another, and that is the only way that they can be completely happy with their life, the Government, according to the Declaration, must allow whoever it is to marry whoever they want to. Recently, there has been attempts to make an ammendment that will ban gay marriage. This, in nature, is illegal to do, because of the unwritten social contract that obliges the Government to protect peoples right to the persuit of happiness, and it also shows complete discrimination toward all homosexuals.
Another interesting story that has come up recently
regarding homosexuality is about Clay Aiken, the American Idol star that has now told the world that he is gay. He also had a son by means of artificial ensemination with his producer, Jaymes Foster. He claims to have wanted kids his whole life, but it couldn't have worked with another male, so that is what he did about it. I find the whole situation releiving, yet a bit unnerving. It is releiving because he is sending the message out to all of the people in the homosexual community that they can be happy and do what they want, with or without marriage, but it is also giving out a message that everything is perfectly fine if a son is born without the mother and father duo, which is terribly wrong because a growing child needs both a loving mother and father in order to be able to grow more naturally and less offset by the situation. Clay's persuit of happiness is completely legal in this case, but there are other situations that are not, and those are the ones that need to be resolved.
My question to you people who might comment, is why does the government not realize they are breaking the Declaration of Independance, or if they do, why are they doing it?
