Lets Start to Look at Marriage for What it Means

Marriage is a worldwide concept that is looked at and treated differently depending on people’s culture and moral values. However, the concept of marriage in itself is not very complex and is fairly simple to take part of in our American culture. However, marriage is one topic that has been taken by our politics and converted into a economic issue for Americans. Marriage has lost its basic principles and has ben regulated by government through tax regulations for couples, and several government benefits that pertain to people once they are married.

One major issue regarding marriage in terms of political issues would be whether same sex couples should have the right to get married. Why would we take away two people’s ability to marry away from them? Gay couples are simply humans that in my opinion should be treated the same as everyone else. Who are we as a nation to say who can marry who. Our American government has become far too involved in people’s personal lives. They have gone too far as far as regulation of certain ideas and are interfering with the happiness of certain people. Many people would argue that the way our government has been handling this political issue has been unconstitutional.

We must allow gay couples to marry all across America. Gay couples have no control over their sexual preference and are being mistreated by the public. Many gay couples contribute to our government similarly as straight couples by also paying taxes. They contribute to our society in similar ways through their jobs and ability to function in society. There should be no reason to treat them any differently. They should not be looked at based upon their sexual preference but rather by what they do as a whole. Some would argue the contrary and say that the government does not condone gay marriage due to financial reasons regarding tax laws and other government benefits. I feel that compromise can be made within these regulations over something as simple as getting married. Our government has tackled far greater financial issues and im sure it can solve this particular one rather easily. The same argument could be said about straight couples. Who is to say that their sexual preference is correct. Why should their sexual preference not be looked down upon. Why does government not tell straight couples that the sexual preference they have is not correct. Gay couples are having a basic function of their lives being taken away.
