Same sex marriage has been a hot potato over the years. Debates have made its toll and were spice up by so much personality. Some church leaders directly oppose the existence of the idea of having same sex marriage. Negative idea is sprouting like mushrooms. Many of them deliberately call names to people who engage in such activity.
For the first time, a president directly affirms his stands on same-sex marriage and that they should be given the opportunity to get married. President Barrack Obama is the first black president and also the first President who is not against same-sex marriage.
People may criticize him as it is considered as a political suicide on his part. However, it would be a start and an eye opener to everyone who fights for equal right: their right to be married and be acknowledged. I think this right is equally the same with the right to have food for the table, the right to have a job and the like.
This somehow is an eye-opener to everyone to accept the reality that this people exist and should be given an equal right and shouldn’t be bullied by people from the grass roots to the highest level of the societal structure. This people who are so called “righteous” should be give this people a chance to be part of the social activity.
