Gay marriage should be legalized
Why should Christians oppose state-sanctioned homosexual marriage?
I imagine this question gives voice to the thought that many Christians have: "Look, I'm with the Bible's teaching on marriage. I affirm the traditional view that homosexual marriage is sinful. And yet, aren’t there all sorts of things that are sinful? There’s no regulation against adultery. There’s no regulation against gossip. There are all sorts of things that we think are bad as Christians but there aren't laws against them."

Same-Sex Marriage: Everyone Should Contain the Right to Love

Throughout my existence, I have been prosperous enough to get the chance to know very determined and whole-hearted people. One of the most driven people I comprehend would have to be my competitive volleyball coach from high school. Every single day before perform , he would gather us all in a circle and firmly say, “You girls must always clash for what you think in, and never support down from a challenge.” While he told us this every day for several years, none of us ever realized that our coach too had been fighting a very hard battle for years &#; trying to unite his male partner. I can honestly say that I have never seen two people so in love and happy with each other. Due to the fact that they are a gay couple, they are not capable to do the one thing that they long to do, which is get married. Although it is one of the toughest battles to clash, my coach still continues to fight. He will fight and stay hopeful until he gets the justice that he and all other gay couples deserve.
