Gina Gay Rights The battle for gay rights is the number one most arguable topic in America today. Dating back to 1924 when the first known gay rights organization‚ The Society for Human Rights was formed in Chicago (“The American’s Gay Rights Movement: Timeline”); it is evident that this battle has been long and seemingly endless‚ with only small amounts of beneficial outcomes.

But‚ people have different religions‚ different beliefs‚ and different views on everything. Banning gay marriage violates a person’s constitutional freedom.

The history of the gay rights movement goes as far back as the late 19th century. More accurately‚ the quest by gays to search out others like themselves and foster a feeling of identity has been around since then. It is an innovative movement that seeks to change existing norms and gain acceptance within our culture. By 1915‚ one gay person said that the gay world was a community‚ distinctly organized but kept mostly out of view because of social hostility. According to the Milestones article‚ after

Woolley AP NSL Pd.3 26 October 2013 Gay Marriage Rights Although some states in the U.S. have allowed gay marriage‚ many homosexual couples are not given the same legal and economic marital benefits as a heterosexual marriage and are constantly discriminated against.

I believe that we should allow same-sex marriage because banning it is unfair‚ love is all that matters in marriage‚ and gay families have certain family values that some straight marriages lack. Banning an issue doesn’t make it go away. The American Constitution states that everyone desverves the same‚ equal rights -- that inlcludes gay people. So banning
