Texas, Get with the Program!

My colleague Mr. John Young presents a very compelling side to the ongoing issue as to whether or not the great state of Texas should make the switch and abolish the ban onsame sex marriages its been so proudly rooted in for almost a decade now. It’s an issue that has been beaten to death, resurrected, and torn back down again by many.

As for many Americans, the issue seems to be one that is surrounded by controversy at every turn. Should holy matrimony be shared among a man a woman solely? Is banning a civil union between two individuals who are in love against a person’s unconstitutional rights? No matter what the answers truly are, it’s always going to be up for debate. While others can care less whether or not two men or two women be bond together like any other heterosexual couple just as long as it doesn’t impede on their lifestyle. We could probably go as far as to say that maybe certain people look at the issue based on how they were brought up.

I agree with Mr. Young based on his point of view towards equality for same sex couples and their choice to get married. I believe that if ANY two-bodied souls love one another and is willing to be bonded together for eternity, then why not let them proceed in the right to be married. But that judgment isn’t up for me to decide, unfortunately its up to many court rooms that lag and drag their feet on the issue, all the while same sex couples in Texas live their lives with no real title to share a bond identified by the state. I too, hope that Texas isn’t one of the last states to “give equal rights to all its residents.”
