How Can Gay Marriage Be Changed

Who You Love Cannot Be Changed. A group of people sit in a cozy little church as the bride walks down the aisle. Her father places her hand in the hand of her beloved who has been smiling, brightly with a heart that is beating rapidly with excitement. The two face the priest and the ceremony continues. The newlyweds kiss tenderly and allow their love to show after the priest says, “I now pronounce you wife and wife.” Meanwhile across the country, another couple is waiting in a room with toys and lots of love. A male worker brings a child into the room and allows the couple to interact with their new adopted toddler. The worker says, “Now you have two daddies to love and care for you.” The worker waves goodbye as the men take their little one …show more content…
Among the difficulties of being who they truly are, the stereotypes could cause emotional, physical, and mental problems. Some straight people judge those who are gay by classifying their union in marriage as “same-sex marriage.” They prefer it to be called marriage, just like a straight couple’s union. It causes pain and offense to gays that want to marry. When their marriage is labeled as this, it discourages those who are gay and wish to marry because if their marriage is branded as that, then they don’t want to get married with a feeling that they will be distinguished.

Marriage can be viewed as a privilege to be happy with your loved one until death. If marriage is equal to gay couples then it would give them that right.

The marriage is in fact viewed as unholy or an abomination in most churches throughout America, especially Catholic Churches. The Catholic Church does not believe in gay marriage and never will. They say it deserves recognition but it is still a sin in the bible. This a huge contradiction. Some church goers’ believe that gay people will be sent to hell for liking the same sex, or even burst into flames if they enter a holy facility (“The Catholic Church, Homosexuality and Gay Marriage."). I, myself, am catholic and although I don’t attend church all the time because of my busy schedule, I have yet to burst into flames when I enter my church. There are far worse crimes than being gay or wanting to marry someone of the same-sex. I know for a fact that under the Ten Commandments, it mentions murder, but nothing about gay marriage. Catholics’ can eventually forgive murders’ for their crimes, and yet they seem to condemn gay people with an afterlife of fiery flames in Hell. With much controversy, the idea will have to be negotiated and
