MarriageI read an article out of Newsweek called, State of Our Unions. This article talked about how gay marriage is right on the horizon. The author says that evolution of marriage is nothing new.

She also believes that it is not a big deal, and it should not be such a huge issue to us: there are other important issues. I believe that the author had well educated and knowledgeable sources, which qualified all statements which were made.

Millions of people are concerned over it and write to their lawmakers concerning gay marriages. I think it is something that a lot of people care about and should be addressed. Nonetheless, I did agree with her idea that we should focus on other issues. This issue has been beaten to death. This is about morals, what one person believes is right versus another point of view. We should focus more on issues that relate to us all. Education, taxes, and unemployment rates are things that affect us all and should be discussed as much as, or more than gay marriages.
