Why Banning Same-sex Marriage is Unconstitutional By Michi Metas

The United States was created based on such principles as freedom of speech, non-oppressive government, and the statement "all men are created equal".

A person's sexuality should not decide who they are to marry, and the same goes for their race, income, religion, or …

…pursuit of happiness is being together with the one they love. These rights are not allowed to be taken away by the government, but by amending the constitution to do so is wrong! <Tab/>There are many reasons to retort a desire to ban same sex marriages.
