This day in history

I think that as a straight person, we should approach gay marriage like heterosexual marriage: two people who love one another so fiercely that they want to start a life together. but sadly before today, same sex marriage has been treated with the most disrespect that i ever encountered, in my personal life. Their only offense is loving their own sex. One may argue that marriage is a religious issue, and that marriage is a matrimony in front of G-d. I understand that yes, religion is a big part of a wedding, but that is for a religious person. America is a melting pot of all different cultures and religions and the ones who actually don't have sex before their marriage because one has to be pure are a very small group. I doubt a lot of people know what the white dress symbolizes and follow the purity for marriage thing. but, back to my point, one judge, one congressman, one mayor, or even one president cannot be the voice for the entire state/country/town etc. because we are all different and one of the most important things to think about while we say we have the freedom of speech, we also have the separation of church and state and that is hypocrisy.
But, on a less angry note, today, it came to a 5 to 4 ruling out DOMA, with the judges calling it unconstitutional.click here for a video on how this affects a same sex family and they can talk about it way better than i can, so enjoy.
Everyone deserves their rights because ALL men and women are created EQUAL
