Love

I don't normally discuss politics with anyone because people tend to get too heated over the subject. That being said, I do think it's important to highlight one very important decision 4 states made in the election last night. Gay marriage is finally legal in Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, and Washington state. This brings the total count of anti-DOMA states/territories up to 11. Over 20% of our country has finally opened their eyes and realized love is love. I can only hope this percentage will increase as the years go by. It's my dream to see my best friend get married. I want to be at his wedding and watch his face light up as he marries the love of his life. I think it's ridiculous when people try to say same-sex marriage would ruin traditional marriage. My best friend's future marriage would in no way negatively affect my own. As a Christian and a human being, I do not see a problem with letting love be shown. I completely understand that some churches are against performing these marriages. That's fine, they should not and would not be forced to do so. What they would be forced to do is open their narrow minds and see how much love same-sex couples have to offer. People are people. Love is love. Civil unions are not marriages.
