Liberal and Conservative are the two distinct worldviews. The meaning of conservative or liberal could be different in different contexts; social, economic and political. For the liberalism, they believe that the government should take the responsibility to do something to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all the citizens to reduce the social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. For the conservative, they believe in personal responsibility. Since the society is fragile, they believe that everyone should take their responsibility to protect ourselves. They also believe that the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals. They have a strong traditional American value and regional value.
In the gay marriage issue, Conservative and Liberal have the different views on it.
For the liberal, they claimed that everyone should have the freedom to marry what people they want, so the gay marriage should also be legal. This ensure the equal rights for all people, and to achieve the equality of the society. For the conservative, the different branches of conservatism have different values in gay marriage, but they are also sharing the same message- gay marriage is not allowed. The cultural conservatives believe that to follow the traditional is good. Since marriage is the union of one man and one woman in tradition, we should follow this. For the social conservatives, they believe that the regional is the most important things to maintain peaceful in a fragile society. The gay marriage violates moral and religious beliefs of millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims and others, we should oppose it. In my own opinion, I think the main point for the gay marriage issue is how can we define a gay person is born to be gay, or he turns gay because of the environment. If he is born
