Why has same-sex marriages been banned? By banning them, we are basically setting the rules. You can't exprience marriage unless you want to marry someone from the opposite sex.

Who are we to prevent these things? It is human nature to be attracted to another human, opposite sex or same. Just like other human traits that we are born with, we have no control or any say in them. We can't decided what sex we are attracted too, we are born with it programed.

There is no problem with being attracted to a member of the same sex, so why ban the marriage of two? Marriage is a commitment that two people take to share their undying love for each other. By banning same sex marriages, same sex couples are stopped from making this commitment to each other.

Marriage is two people who love one another. If you love someone, you should have the opportunity to marry them, same sex or not.

By banning same sex marriages, the idea that same-sex couples are 'wrong', 'sinful' or whatever you view it as, is produced. Is this how we want our children to grow up? To grow up in a world where you are restricted to a specific relationship rule that someone else has made, based on their own opinions? Do we want our children to grow up thinking there is something wrong with same sex couples and hating them for it?

The problem of racism has just started to subside, and now this homophobia is beginning to take over. There are laws for us to abide by, in the matters of committing a crime, and road rules. Why bring in a law that not only prevents same sex marriages but also produces the idea that, not just marriages, but same sex relationships in general, is bad?

It is an un-necessary law to prevent things that we, as humans, have no control over, so why try to control it?
