So NY finally legalized gay marriage and I am sure thousands of people all over the state and country are thrilled and jumping uncontrollably right now.  I honestly hadn’t realized just how far this gay marriage issue goes until I watched that movie in class, and had to see that poor police officer and that poor farmer from the south have to endure unimaginable hardships because the law makes it so difficult if not nearly impossibly for gay couples to get what is rightfully theirs, and something that a straight couple would not even have to ask for, it would just be automatically handed to them. I don’t know how I feel about gay marriage. I mean this is America and everyone has the right to be treated equal, and to pursuit happiness, that is one of the founding principles of this country. I have nothing against homosexual people, they don’t bother me and I don’t bother them and I don’t see why anyone else should bother them. The heart wants what it wants, and who are you to tell anyone otherwise. As far as marriage goes, I don’t know, it’s not that I’m against it, its just a little hard for me to be able to fully wrap my mind around it. Its just since the beginning of time its been Adam and Eve, since I was born I have been conditioned to think by family, friends, and society in general that marriage is between a man and a woman. I’m a very open minded person, and If I’m having trouble grasping this concept, then I can imagine how much trouble other people must be having.NY Gay Marriage
