Pro Gay Marriage

"Everybody has the right to marry the person they love and be represented as a couple and family... It's something that people will look back on in years to come and say, 'I can't believe it took so long for us to recognize this.' It'll be like segregation and giving women the right to vote." says Julianne Moore, Golden Globe Award winner (“Gay Voices”). So, same-sex marriage: Is it unconstitutional or a right?

Lastly, people claim to worry about the children of the future and what kind of home-life they would have if they were to grow up with two same-sex parents, but you can not tell two people they can not be with one another and raise a family because it might be unstable. 400,000 children are in foster care just in a year (“Children”). Foster care is what an unstable environment
