Interesting Facts on Same-Sex Marriage/ Viewpoints

There are many people out there that will all have many different opinions. One of the defenses by many people who support gay marriage is that people who are pot heads and raging alcoholics, or people who are socio-paths , or anti - Nazis can raise a child , but two guys or two girls aren't allowed to raise a child because it might be "harmful". this would be determined as being homophobic and its not really fair for one to tell another that they cannot raise a child just because they're not in relations with the opposite sex. What are your opinions on the matter?

Large majorities of teens said they approve of marriages between Hispanics and non-Hispanics, between Jews and non-Jews, and between blacks and whites. While almost 9 in 10 teenagers overall approve of marriage between blacks and whites, support is slightly higher among young women than it is among young men: 91% of girls approve of marriage between blacks and whites, compared to 82% of boys who approve. There are no significant gender differences in teenage attitudes toward marriage between Jews and non-Jews or Hispanics and non-Hispanics.

Marriage between homosexuals, however, is an issue that elicits remarkably different views between young men and women. A majority of girls -- 56% -- approve of gay marriage, compared to only 30% of boys who approve. Girls are definitely more likely to accept gay marriage then boys, There acceptance rate is almost double!

Same-Sex Marriage permits couples of the same gender to enter legally-recognized marriages and provides them with the same legal rights as couples in heterosexual marriages. Same-Sex-Marriage is legal in the countries of Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, and Sweden. In the United States as of June 26, 2015, same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states from a ruling by the Supreme Court that was passed by a 5-4 vote. My opinion on same sex marriage is that I personally wouldn't do it but if that's what someone wants, i'm not going to say anything. It is legal now in some states so if one wants to do that they have permission too. And as long as people accept that there will not be a problem with it as only time will tell what people will think of it as it continues to grow and be legalized in many more states to come.
