Gay Marriage

Well, many can likely predict the answer I am about to impart to you, dear reader, as I am an active member of the UHSGSA, and do not only believe in gay rights, but work to make them happen. At least on a small scale. So, the question turns not to what, but to why. And that answer is also very simple. Like the esteemed Ralph Waldo Emerson, I am a deep believer in self reliance, on individual liberties and rights and ideas. I am deeply committed to maintaining my own way of life, but I know that to deny anyone else the rights I have myself would be not only unfair but completely ridiculous. And so, the simple answer to the gay marriage question is simply that I don't care, as strange as that sounds. I don't care who marries who, or what their religion is, or even if they are headed to hell (which I don't believe, by the way). I simply realize that if my way of life is to be respected I must respect the way of life of others. And therefore, I grant to every gay individual who wants to marry the person they love my permission to do just that. What they want. Their marriage doesn't affect my life, and I don't believe I have any right to step into matters not about me. I believe in choice, and it is as simple as that.
