The Supreme in Connecticut ruled on Friday that same sex marriage is now legal. Three states have legalized same sex marriage: Connecticut, Massachusetts, and California. This is a huge win for homosexual couples in Connecticut. Whatever your stance is on gay marriage, you have to agree that you should be able to have the freedom to marry whomever you please. I mean you love who you love who you love, you can not help that fact.We say we are a tolerant country, but tolerating something isn’t the same thing as being for something. I tolerate my child’s tantrums, I wouldn’t like to have other people want their child to throw tantrums. Why can’t this country be more accepting of people’s different beliefs,religions,races, or sexual orientation?

At McCain/Palin rallies it reminds me of after 9/11 when racism and hatred was acceptable. It was okay to be racist towards Arabs, Muslims, and people of middle eastern descent even though those citizens in this country did nothing wrong. Then, Bush told everyone to hate the French, and dump their wines and called french fries freedom fries.

I personally think that every single person in this country should be allowed to get married if they should so choose. Marriage reduces promiscuity and thus would lower HIV, AIDS, STD’s and other diseases.  Everyone should be allowed to commit forever to the person they so choose. It is only fair. One comedian said gay people should be able to get married so they can be as miserable while married as straight people. In order to achieve peace in this country, we need to stop discrimination and hatred.
