Same sex marriage is one of the biggest controversies. Society portrays marriage as between a man and woman. I think someone has the right to have their OWN choice as to who they want to be with or marry. They shouldn't have to worry about what others think of a choice someone makes for themselves. I highly doubt that someones choice to be with the opposite sex effects those who oppose this lives, so what's the big deal? I support same sex marriage and find nothing wrong with it because it doesn't change my life as to what they want to do. I don't think it's right that in most states there is no law that legalizes same sex marriage. I may be catholic and being gay is against many religions but I believe if your choice of preference is the same sex then hey GO FOR IT. As they say "you can't help who you fall in love with".
I am happy to hear that Governor Andrew Cuomo is in fact trying to pass a law for same sex marriage as stated in the New York Times. The picture above shows Governor Cuomo at last years gay pride parade last summer. It's good to know that some for of representation for our state supports people who are gay.If "all men are created equal" then why can't they marry the same sex?

There are many festivities that are for gays like the International Bear Rendezvous. As compared to the event in 2006 the number of participants decreased. Event organizer Darwin Bebo blamed the internet for this as stated in the New York Times. It was said that there was no need for physical festivities like these to meet people of the same sex because the internet is giving them that opportunity. Websites like Bearbook.com which works like Facebook.com is a way for people to meet. The International Bear Rendezvous is also a group that supports 3 beneficiaries a year and one of them this year is the Stop Aids Project which is to help prevent HIV in all. Social networks despite being a main cause of declines in physical support groups for gays but they are a prime reason for the boost in the amount of money raised for same sex marriage and battles against HIV/AIDS causes. The Bears gathered almost $600,000 over the year for these causes!
Such groups like that show the growing support for people's choice of being gay as well as the millions of people who walk in parades for this as well.
So for the people who aren't for people who are gay then that's your opinion as well as it is for people who do support it and are gay. Do whatever floats your boat people and don't let what people say opposing your choice effect you because I'm sure if people were seen to being attracted to the opposite sex was wrong and illegal to be married then they'd want supporters for it too!
