Same-sex marriage has been a controversial topic not only in the United States but the entire world for a very, very long time now. However, no one seems to be able to come to a consensus on whether it is bad or not.
On one side, you have religious people who frown upon same-sex attraction due to whatever their religion says about it. You also have some people who have been raised by people with unfounded prejudice from historical events like the AIDS epidemic, in which homosexual people tended to be shunned or raise a feeling of disgust, despite them not even being the reason it came around.
On the other side, you have homosexual people, non-religious people for the most part, and LGBTQ+ allies. These people all believe that others should not care what other consenting adults find attractive. Some think it is okay to not like homosexuality, but that you should not go around telling others they are bad people for something they cannot control.
I believe that same-sex marriage should be 100% legal and unrestricted. I believe there needs to be a separation of church and state as laid out in the US Constitution and the beliefs of any religious group should stay far away from government, as to not cause a bias towards one party or another. It is no secret that many Christians, regardless of denomination, and other religious groups refuse to accept same-sex marriage, which is just not acceptable in modern day.

I completely agree with what you are saying. You make a great point of what issues have brought up because of this. If these issues continue to escalate it could make our day to day life different. I can also see the good reason for it to be illegal.
Although many might not like the idea of same sex marrige, I don't think it should be illegal. At this point in time, we can not judge others for little things like being with the same gender. We have been taught to not shame others even if we may not agree with what they are doing.
Exactly, and there's much bigger problems in this world than that for those who disagree with it. The time a lot of people spend worrying about same-sex couples and marriage should spend that time on bigger issues like world hunger and homelessness.
