A lesbian couple, Cari Searcy and Kimberly McKeand were married legally in California and have been together for 15 years. They attempted to adopt Kimberly's 9 year old son but was denied because the state of Alabama did not recognize their marriage. The code for Alabama gives a person a right to adopt a spouse's child but because Alabama doesn't recognize their marriage, they could not adopt.
This article relates to what we are doing in class because we are talking about political culture and how people have their own political ideologies. Some may view that same-sex marriage is perfectly harmless while some may argue that it is unnatural. This can also relate upon political parties and how liberal lean more towards the allowance of same-sex marriage and conservatives fall towards the banning of same-sex marriage.
I do not believe in same sex marriage, maybe because I am a strong Christian. Although, there is a separation between church and state, I follow the Bible and it sates that it is a sin for a man to lay with thy other man. Also, I believe that it sets a bad image for kids growing up and learning these things. I'm not saying that gay marriage is bad, but kids should not be raised by parents who encourage gay marriage.
I agree with Taylor. In the Bible it says that marriage is between a male and a female. Therefore I don't believe it should be passed.
