Gay Rights... The Movement

I know there's this whole debate on equal marriage but whether you're for or against it. You have to admit that it's a pretty cool fight. Of course I'm for it. How would it affect me in any way other than more people in this country are happy? First off, I really want to say how I'm not really a fan of calling it "Gay Marriage," I mean you don't say a straight marriage or a bi-racial marriage so why would we have to add another label on something? I really did love what Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Queen Latifah, and Madonna did this year at the Grammys. I kind of wish I was watching it alone so I wouldn't have to be embarrassed of my watering eyes.

Living in Iowa, we were one of the first states to allow "Gay Marriage" so I've been proud to be among one of those states and every time I see in the news that there's another state to allow it just makes me full of joy. The reason why I think this whole topic is amazing is that I'm able to witness and experience this whole movement in my lifetime. There's been many human rights movements in our history of segregation of Black Americans and women's right to vote just to name some. I just know that this won't be an issue a few years from now but I love that I'm here to see it all roll out for a better and free America.
