I believe that everyone should have the same rights. Gay marriage should be legal. It is understandable that not everyone agree's with it, and that some religions from upon it. But each individual should be able to make that decision, while still being respectful of these choices. We have places where we can get married, and as long as there are places where gays can get married too I think thats a big enough step for right now. It cant exactly be a gradual change, because they deserve this freedom now, but it can go in steps. First the laws pass, then we give them what they need to be treated as equals. True respect will come in time. It is very similar to racism. Its still and issue, but its much better then it was 50 years ago. This is the same situation, and it will take time. I don't think religion should have this much to do with the freedom to love you want. Its an individual choice. Although it does affect others, just as freeing the slaves did, we will get past it and survive. Religions that are protesting can still continue on just as they are now, all that is different it that the world will be more free, more equal, and have alot more happy people.
