For years the U.S has been fighting for freedoms, some of which we have today such as African American freedom and woman’s rights to vote. Now there’s another battle that we must fight for. Marriage rights for the widely known LGBT Community Or the Lesbian, Gay, Bi, And Trans community which I am a proud member of myself.
When the subject of Same Sex Marriage comes up in any political or simple conversation there are always criticizers and supporters, whom often are discriminated against themselves for supporting a friend or loved one, who are a member of the LGBT Community or who just support us in our fight for rights that we should have to not only bring peace between the straight community and the LGBT community but to bring equality to each individual of both communities.
Some say America is the land of equality, but how can that be when equality is still being fought for to this day? Equality among the LGBT and straight community may not bring discrimination to an end nor put an end to those who have political power who are against us, but it will finally be a milestone and the hugest achievement in a life time among the LGBT Community.
Most people have a choice in whether that want to get married or not, why can’t the LGBT Community have the same choice? During the 2009 presidential election Same Sex Marriage was voted against in California because the public thought that Same Sex Marriage was wrong, but NO one should dictate how people live their lives, but nonetheless people do.
People say that homosexuality, bisexuality, and transexuality is not a genealogical factor. Well the matter of the fact is that it is, and it is also a life choice, and it’s just who we are. A persons sexuality shouldn’t matter, what matters is on the inside of a person, be it a kind heart, caring, forgiving, that’s what people should take into consideration, as I said it shouldn’t matter what the person is.
As we continue to fight for our rights as a whole, no one can quiet us, as long as we stick together no one can shatter our spirits and our pride. We will fight, we may lose from time to time but we shall stand to gain our rights for future generations to come. As a proud member I will continue to do what I can in helping our cause.
