About California
California is a state located on the west coast of the United States and is bordered by Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, the Pacific Ocean, and Baja California to the south. California has a mostly Mediterranean climate with rainy and cool winters and dry summers, which the wine industry has profited by. The higher elevation desert areas have hot summers and cold winters. Death Valley, a desert classified as the hottest location in North America, holds a record high of 134 °F set in 1913.
About Gay Marriage
It is currently illegal in most states for homosexual men and women to get married. Those opposed to same-sex marriage usually cite two principal ideas: same-sex is against biblical principles; and that marriage has always been defined as being between a man and a woman and shouldn't be changed. Those in favor of same-sex marriage respond to the biblical argument by noting that there are hundreds of things that the bible specifically bars or condones which modern society ignores, like allowing slave ownership and banning the eating of shellfish, so why is the ban on gay marriage different. Concerning the idea that marriage has always been defined as being between a man and a woman, a response might be that definitions change all the time, and the definition of marriage should be changed to be more inclusive.
About Gay Rights
The gay rights movement began with the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in New York City. Since then the movement has expanded to include parents, brothers, sisters, and other family members of gay people as well as gay people themselves. The goal is to change laws that discriminate against people of different sexual orienatations.
