This articles talks about Utah's refusal to recognize same sex marriages. Although many other states do not support, and have not made gay marriage legal they still recognize a same-sex couples marriage. A Utah state law, made in 2004, won't allow for it to be recognized apparently.
Personally, I find this extremely awful as well as disrespectful. Of course, everyone has their own beliefs on who should be married to who, this was a legal bond and marriage made by the states these couples were married in. If a opposite sex couple moved to a new state, they would still be married... So how would this be any different? Sure, they are same sex couples but they have the same legal bond as a straight couple. To be honest this article appalls me. Im disgusted by it.
These people have the right to live with their partners without refusal. They live the same way, eat the same way, and love the same way as heterosexuals so why cant they live in peace?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joi, I don't understand why people have such a problem with gay people and same sex marriage. I personally don't have a problem with it, maybe because I am around gay people all the time and I treat them how I treat everyone else, but I think that everyone should treat them equally.
ReplyDeleteThat's so interesting coming from Utah. Utah is predominantly Mormon, who are very tolerant and open minded people from what I've heard. A place where polygamy is legal you would think they wouldn't have an issue with a different but equal form of marriage union.
