The Constitution And Same Sex Marriage
The issue of same sex marriage has been a subject of controversy and discussion in several talk shows and public polls. There is more opposition for the Gay Marriage Act that support from the normal public. There are several ways in which the issue is looked upon like religious reasons, political, emotional, ethical legal and constitutional. |
The Constitution and Gay Marriage Act has been much more controversial than anything else. The first state to legalize the Gay Marriage Act was Massachusetts and was promptly followed by Iowa, Vermont, and now Hampshire.
The Constitution of the country has a tougher choice to make because it just believes in what is right and wrong legally. What is right for one person may never be right for the other. The Constitution sets rules and norms for the society so that everyone follows the same pattern. If the Constitution were to support the Gay Marriage Act, then it would become the norm of the society. Is it correct for them to set a norm that is against the nature in the society is a bigger question they have to answer. At the same time, if a person is inclined to have a relationship with someone of their own sex, then there is nothing actually the Constitution can do about it.
Gay relationships have always been around but now they are climbing to higher levels by asking the constitution to recognize their status. The biggest opposition comes from the church, and the Constitution is not governed by the church.
