Legalizing same sex marriage will be a good thing, showing homosexuals that they have the same rights as heterosexuals.

Being gay doesn’t affect any one other than the gays themselves, so why should it matter what they do with their life. As of Nov. 7, 2012 gay marriage has been legalized in nine US state: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Maryland, Washington and Maine (should gay marriage be legal).

For example ancient families and how they have arrangements based on polygamy (should gay marriage be legal). For instance
