A conservative legal group asked the California Supreme Court on Thursday to put off finalization of its decision legalizing same-sex marriage until voters got a chance to weigh in. In court papers submitted late Thursday, a group called the “Alliance Defense Fund”, who is against gay marriages  warned that the state would suffer “great public harm and mischief” if it began allowing same-sex marriages on June 16, when the court’s decision would ordinarily become final.  Well nation, you may have heard all of the news that the states are trying to ban same-sex marriages. The truth is, we should NOT be discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation. If you really think about it, this is just like discriminating against people because of their skin color, or their ethnicity. In the case of skin color, race, religion, or sexual orientation, you CANT help it! You may be born white or black, mexican or cuban, Catholic or Mormon, Methodist or Baptist, gay or straight, bisexual or transgendered and all other points in between. You are born the way you are, and the fact is, you cant help it. Someone may be white, and may want to become a black person, they cant help it because this is how God made them. I think that discriminating and taking away the rights of these innocent people is disgustng and wrong. Gays and straights are ALL humans. They are ALL equal, and should not have their rights taken away. If you are an American citizen, you have many rights, but this shouldn’t be taken away due to what you believe in. Personally, I am not gay, but I know many people who are gay and lesbian, and some of them happen to be my friends. They are regular people, they are not weird, or perverted, or anything else that people may think of gays. THEY ARE regular people. Gay and Lesbian teens are all around us, and should be treated as individuals. As always, if you have any questions or comments pertaining to this, or any of my other blogs, please feel free to type it up
