President Obama-Writing Assign.#6:Part 3

    President Barack Obama expressed his point of view on the issue of same-sex marriage by saying that it should be legalized for Gays and Lesbians to have the right to get married just as it is the same for heterosexual couples. Even though some states have recognized that homosexual couples should have the same rights as straight couples, it is still a very controversial issue in the United States. It is still controversial because some Americans strongly believed that the "true" definition of marriage is between a man and a woman and they believe that it should stay that way for a very long time. In May 2012, the voters in North Carolina voted for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, partnerships, and civil unions. The voters of North Carolina voted for a constitutional amendment on the ban for same-sex couples to be married, or to have a civil  because the bible claims that it is a sin for men to have sexual relations with other men. Now they have a prohibition on Gays and Lesbians to be involved in partnerships, so they can express their love for one another. What John Stuart Mill would say about this particular issue is that they should have the same rights as heterosexual couples. It should not have anything to do with religion or anyone else's personal opinion on who has the right to get married. Patrick Devlin would argue that it has something to do with the decency on the values of the family and they are afraid that it would break down the structure of the families and the rest of society.
