Marriage equality has been in the news for quite some time and it has brought much attention to people, states, and the government. Many people don't support it but a majority of people do support it and more and more people who didn't supported marriage equality are learning more about it and supporting it. I believe that letting people marry whoever they want is okay. People should stop worrying about who people marry and why they want to marry a person of the same sex.
Like the second article in the pro section, "Use What You Got: Bill Of Rights Provides for Marriage Equality", they talk about how the 9th amendment states that "...shall not be constructed to deny or disparage others retained by the people", meaning that there is more rights that we have think we have. The previous "rights" that we thought we had, prior to the 9th states that deals with the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. This means that the amendment being passed, are not the only rights that we have as people of the United States. Also this article states how the 4th Amendment does not allow the state to come into your home without reasonable cause, and how does this not imply that the government should keep out of your sexual business as well. I feel that this is a reasonable idea and the government should not know everything that goes on in peoples' personal life. The government should just let people marry whoever they want and not have to be questioned about it.
Many states that were relentless about same-sex marriage, are now changing their mind and allowing it to start happening. Now over 30 states have made it legal for a person to marry the same sex and that is an amazing start. The governments of the states are realizing many things and are now becoming "modern" states, which means they are acknowledging things that are new to this century and would be a very bad thing back in the day. I am very proud that the government is realizing that marriage between two people, it doesn't matter what the sexes are, is okay and it will not destroy a nation. Soon all of the states will realize this and will allow it sooner or later, and that will be an amazing day in history.
