A huge topic in the news and in politics is what is considered family, well the article I found called "Same-sex marriage backers launch campaign." Is talking just about that, the article explains how Same-sex marriage advocates are launching a statewide "public education campaign" in Iowa to move the conversation about marriage from politics to family homes. The civil rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and Freedom to Marry are seeking marriage equality nationwide. The advocates are creating open discussions with members of the community and how the right to marry has improved lives and families. This is a huge topic that is getting a lot of media coverage even in the supreme court. People are advocating for the rights of others to change the definition of family and marriage. Some states have changed this definition, but many states are still not ready for this to happen. I believe this is a great way to get their word out. In my opinion no one should define what marriage or family is, because it is different for everyone around the world. Many people are even expanding this topic even in Canada about same-sex divorce. I really do believe this is a great way to advocate about something you believe needs to be changed. They are getting the community to get in on this topic to see if this makes a difference when they bring it to the political area again. I believe the advocates need to try this in other states.

Please correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t marriage originally come the country threw a religious practice of Christianity? I don’t think the government has the right to tell anyone who they can or can’t get married with. However if marriage was originally a religious practice of Christianity which does not allow same sex marriage, why would anyone want to get married taking part in this religious practice that forbids does not allow same-sex marriage? Just a thought.
