I chose to evaluate the sentence, "Committed gay and lesbian couples should have the legal privileges of marriage."
The definition of marriage is the state of being united to a person. Therefore, if a gay or lesbian couple decides to spend the rest of their lives together, they should lawfully be permitted to obtain a marriage license. In my opinion, they are no different than any other couple, and therefore should not be treated like they are abnormal. Love is not limited to the opposite sex. It is a feeling, not something with a true definition that creates limits. If limits are imposed, it is like putting limits on which religions are allowed in the United States. We live in a free country, so why should we have restrictions on our feelings?

So I have a question then: because their should be no law on love, should they then amend the constitution when it sates that all marriages must be between a man and a woman? Just wondering:)
where in the Constitution does it say that Jen?
yes - definitions are in the eye of the beholder
