“I obviously
have to be on my deaf bed, in order to marry the love of my life”. Is probably
what some same-sex couples are thinking in Texas and Indiana. In an article I read
called “judge defies Texas law to wed same-sex couple under one-time order”. Talks
about how a same sex couple got married under a one-time court order granted by
a judge. The only reason the judge granted the order was one has ovarian
cancer. I feel that marriage is a beautiful thing, and being able to marry the
person who you love and want to spend the rest of your life with is even more
beautiful. Everyone should be able to marry whomever they want, since true love
does not have a gender. The article also went on to explain how soon after the couple’s
marriage the courts later issued an emergency block from all other same-sex
couples obtaining a marriage licenses. Which I is wrong because it is denying other
same-sex from their rights.
I feel
that the Supreme Court system should not have any say in whether couples can or
can’t not get married. Marriage is something based on love, and everyone should
be able to marry whom they choose. Rather male or female no matter their
gender. The article also goes on to talk about how other exceptions have been
made for another same-sex couple in Indiana. Which seems like the only way for a same sex
couple to get married in those two states, is for the other one to have a
serious dieses. Which is pretty messed
up in my opinion, that just goes to show how same-sex couples are constantly being
stripped from their rights.
