Same sex marriage is a constitutional issue that has, in recent years become a very hot issue in the USA. Because it is not mentioned in the Constitution, hundreds of American citizens are concerned about their rights. There are several opposing view points to this issue. Many people in the US believe in traditional marriage and families. They are strongly against any questioning of this belief mainly due to religion. Several religions are firmly against gay marriage and refuse to acknowledge it. Also, many people believe the sole purpose of marriage is to produce children.
Gay and lesbian couples views on this issue are also very strong and opinionated. Their argument is that they deserve the equality and rights that every other married couple has in America. And as for the issue of children, many same sex couples either adopt or have artificial insemination done to bring a child into their relationship.
But the issue is not religion or children, it is the fact that many same sex couples that are American citizens do not have the same rights as everyone else does in this nation.
