Same-sex marriage is not now legal in any jurisdiction in the United States, nor in any country in the world for that matter. But it's closer to becoming a reality than ever before. The battle continues, and the future is uncertain. Here's what the two sides have to say. Homosexuality is morally wrong.
American society is based on.
We have a responsibility to be sympathetic to our fellow human beings, but extending to homosexual couples the special privileges of the traditional family would undermine the sanctity of the family. America is not based on one particular faith, nor on a single moral code, but on a plurality of creeds. Your feelings as a member of a particular religious community notwithstanding, you have a responsibility as a citizen to support the extension of the same civil rights you yourself enjoy to everyone equally. Race, sex, religion, and sexual orientation must not affect the even application of civil rights. Homosexuality is not morally wrong, but even if you believe it is, you must not oppose the right of any person to claim equal privileges under the law.
