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.
