Just because someone doesn’t love the same way as you do does not make them wrong or make them crazy, it makes them unique. Majority of people around the world feel that marriage should be between a man and a woman and that gays should not have that right because they believe being gay is morally wrong. If being gay is morally wrong then why are their gay people? That is like saying being white is morally wrong. People honestly who believe this don’t really stop and think outside the box and think that what is in the bible is right. If you look at the ethical reason behind why people believe that gay marriage is wrong, it is purely due to discrimination. There are no real reasons why gay marriage should not be allowed, there are only reasons based on opinions, and one's own bias reasoning.
When looking at gay marriage and deciding if it is right or wrong some people will be debating this for years. There are reasons why it may be considered wrong but again the Bible says that God loves all his children, but just like our parents, he does not have to agree to the choices they make. It is wrong to deny someone his or her basic human and civil rights, which is stated in the constitution. There are no easy ways out of this debate and determining whether it is right or wrong, but there is comprise that can happen with discussions on the subject. So who is right and who is wrong, to me it determines who you are and how you were raised. So after reading the facts and opinions, where do you stand on this social issue? So can someone really choose who they love?
The ethical theory that provides the best support for same-sex marriage is utilitarianism. Utilitarianism suggests that there is an obvious solution that is fair, and it may be one that appeals to common sense as well. If we can mix races, and people can get married just because why can’t homosexuals have the same right? What makes people so afraid of allowing
