Same Sex Marriage

Gay marriage is the next sensitive issue I wish to comment on. It is the topic of discussion across the United States. Gay marriage pops up in almost every political debate. What is it hurting? Who is it hurting?

On the religious side of the argument, marriage is the union between man and woman. Cut and dry, plain and simple. Taking this into consideration, if there is supposed to be separation between church and state, why is it a political debate? It should have absolutely no bearing on elections in any way or should never come up on the House floor. Others will argue the impact of cost with health care concerns. How is it any different than a man/woman married couple?

To me, I see no reason that a man and man or a woman and woman can't be joined in a legal union recognized by the various states across the Union. It is not our place to tell others what they can and can't do with their lives. If two people are in love with each other and want to make a legal commitment to each other, be in same sex or opposite sex, they should be able to do so in the eyes of the courts and the States.
