Britain Stands Out


Britain Stands Out

            The United States have been battling for years whether or not to allow same sex marriage throughout the country.  Same-sex marriage has grown to be a big issue in the past years, and has also grown to being a huge topic between people.  Britain, however, legalized gay marriage on July 17, 2013.  I believe that same-sex marriage is a choice that people should not judge.  Furthermore, I agree with what Britain.

            The article Britain Legalizes Gay Marriage in Time Magazine talks about how Parliament cleared a bill stating to legalize same-sex marriage in England and Wales.  This bill enables gay couples to get married both in civil and religious ceremonies.  I know that gay couples in Britain are very happy and are also very surprised about what has recently happened due to how people treat gay people.  Gay couples around the world most likely wish for their country to allow what Britain has.  In addition, I am all for gay marriages.

            Whether or not you support gay couples have become a big part of who you are now a days.  People will judge you on just supporting people who are gay.  I believe that people should be able to be happy with whoever they choose to be with.  Britain legalizing gay marriages does not bother me in the least bit, but it may bother plenty other people.  People in the U.S. may fear that now since Britain legalized gay marriage, America will too. 

            The article Britain Legalizes Gay Marriage is about how a country took a huge step against what some people think is right.  People judge you no matter what you do in society lately.  People say being gay is against the Bible, but cutting your hair is also against the Bible.  I agree with what Britain did, and I know that they surprised a lot of people by what they did as well.
