Same Sex Marriage Nationwide Controversy

“You can’t help who you fall in love with, things just happen.” There has been a debate over time in a few states about whether gays and lesbians should marry, which has led to a nationwide controversy. There are several reasons why people are in support of same sex marriages and are against same sex marriages.

The world is in black and white and gays see things of color and that’s why people are so against them. No one way is better than the other. The only determining factor is our hearts. We have to follow our hearts and our souls and that’s how we determine true love. It’s not what we are taught. We cannot be taught love. We can only feel love.
