Let Gays Marry by Andrew Sullivan

I thought that this essay was interesting considering the fact that that's one of the issues here in America. I felt that Sullivan made a lot of good points. I agree with him when he states that gays and lesbians are like everyone else and it's true! They are born the same way as you and me.
I liked how he used the past meanings of being married and how they have changed since then. When marriage was formerly made men and women had to marry his or her own race. In today's society we have mixed ethnic couples everywhere we look. Marriage was formerly known as a contract with certain guidelines. One example is how once a woman was married she was owned by her husband. Again in today's society things have definitely changed.
However marriage is also known as a SPIRITUAL bond between a man and woman. People who are religious may seem to think that gay marriages are wrong. People who think about the diseases that can be easily passed on are definitely not going to agree. I personally support gays and lesbians but not so much of the marriage as me being a christian. I'm sorry but not even Andrew Sullivan can change that!
