Another interesting article that I found was the article on homosexuals and the legalization of it. For some people this has become a controversy. This is because many religious people are strictly against it because they say that the bible clearly says there should only be marriages between men and women. Some people were really sad and angry with this legalization. However, I feel that everyone can live their life as they please, and if this is going to cause them happiness then they can go ahead and get married. At the end the only one that can judge them is God. But I do also thing is not the right thing to do, and this topic makes me confused. This is the why I decided to do research about this very controversial topic.
The article says “The 4-3 ruling declared that the state Constitution protects a fundamental “right to marry” that extends equally to same-sex couples. It tossed a highly emotional issue into the election year while opening the way for tens of thousands of gay people to wed in California, starting as early as mid-June”. http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-gay-marriage17-2008may17,0,7229587.story. Religious people plan to overturn it by voting against it in November. Some people in courts have argued that this goes against respect and dignity and a good or bad example for their children. “Our state now recognizes that an individual’s capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation,” George wrote for the majority. “An individual’s sexual orientation — like a person’s race or gender — does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights.”(wwww.latimes.com). This means that just as two people from different nationalities get married, gender should also not be an issue and homosexuals should also have the right to get married and lived a happy life.
