I beleive that no state should make same sex marriages illegal. Although I consider myself a religious person and according to my Catholic religion same sex marriages are immoral, I think that personnaly if people choose who they want to marry it does not affect me in any way and also I would not want the government prohibiting me from marrying the person I chose. Another argument that supports my claim is the idea of separation of religion and state, which to my understanding deals with the government not presiding over a certain religion, which brings me to the idea that if inside the government the reinging religion happens to be Christianity. Many Christians also believe that same sex marriages are immoral and wrong. So the question is this, how much religious influence can the government impose on the citizens. The answer should be none, but of course that is obviously not going to happen and therefor the people of this country should make a stand against these types of laws that involve religion. I think that California is giving an equal opportunity its citizens by allowing same sex marriages legalized.
