America was originally a place for freedom and equal rights but, we all know that it's never completely been that way for all genders, race, sexuality etc. As of Feb. 9, 2015 gay marriage was legalized in 37 US states, 13 states have gay marriage bans through either laws or constitutional amendments or both -gaymarriage.procon.org. Gay marriage is unfair on so many different levels. Telling someone they can't be gay because of your religion is like saying you can't have a cookie because I'm on a diet (famous internet quote). According to thetrevorproject.org, LGB youth are 4 times more likely, and questioning youth are 3 times more likely, to attempt suicide as their straight peers. My goal is to create equal rights for the LGB & LGBT community, as one of the people in "We the People."
