I do support gay marriage rights. To me, it is extremely ridiculous and selfish of people to restrict the rights of other people, when many people enjoy the benefits of being married. Marriage to me is not about who is married, but what it means to the people that are married. Gay couples have the same ability to have a relationship as straight couples, so why are these rights restricted? If married couples who oppose gay marriage were to be in the shoes of a gay couple, wouldn’t they want to be with the person that they love and raise a family? Just because they may not be the type of couple that the religious people talk about, they are still good people who deserve the right to be with the person that they love and want to raise a family with. I fully support gay marriage and I think that people need to stop being so selfish and let everyone have the rights of marriage.

Erin-
I completely agree with you. It's sad that people are restricting marriage rights to gay couples just because they don't fit the usual image of a married couple. I like your suggestion for the supporters of anti-gay marriage to put themselves in the shoes of the gay couples and see how they felt not having the right to marry the one the love, although it may not work for everyone. Homosexual couples have the same capability to have the same type of relationship as heterosexual couples, so why do they still deny human beings the right to marry?
